Further Description
  • Have a look at the Lenton Local History Society website for a look at this estate.  Scroll down a little way to see a view of the bungalows on this estate.  My house is a semi, but looks similar to the one in the picturehttp://www.lentontimes.co.uk/back_i.htmThe Residents'Association would like to get this estate made into a Conservation Area, but are uncertain as to how to go about it.  Nottingham City Council don't appear to be very interested, but we would like to pressurise them into action.  Even our chairman who is a local JP finds that the council are leaden.The reason we would like to become a Conservation Area is that as soon as a bungalow is vacated, a developer moves in and vandalises the original design with the aim of letting it out to as many students as he can get away with.  The Daily Telegraph highlighted this problem with the suburn of Lenton.We believe that we are a piece of history of the East Midlands that should not be lost.  If anyone wishes to know any more, give me a call at CDCNottm@AOL.comColin D Campbell6 Scalford DriveWollaton ParkNottinghamNG8 1EE0115.928.1685If you want to see some other of my thoughts, have a peek once a week at cdcnottm.co.uk.  A full list of my essays are on page IDX.htm  Just put a slash after the URL and add IDX.htm
