Unsightly
Poles
Many
Swanland
residents
will
be
horrified
by
the
intended
erection
of
huge
poles
to
be
erected
by
MS3,
who
should
be
made
to
share
KCOM's
underground
infrastructure.
Apparently
KCOM
are
required
to
>
share
by
law
but
have
not
been
approached
by
MS3.
Sometimes
the
poles
maybe
erected
alongside
existing
poles
-
see
pic.
In
other
areas
MS3
have
been
followed
by
Connexin
who
then
install
their
own
poles
so
the
problem
will
just
multiply.
THEY
DO
NOT
NEED
PLANNING
PERMISSION
FOR
THE
POLES
!
And
you
thought
you
lived
in
a
democracy
?

Supports
a

in
Kenya
to
transform
the
lives
of
children
living
in
poverty
to
give
them
a
better
future.
An
amazing
97%
of
funds
go
directly
to
support
schools
and
education
projects
in
both
slum
and
rural
areas
in
and
around
Nairobi,
Kenya.
Equipping
future
generations
to
fend
for
themselves
is
better
than
just
giving
aid
as
many
charities
do.

Several
years
ago
a
Swanland
family
tragically
lost
a
young
child
from
a
sudden
and
unexpected
heart
attack.
After
their
initial
shock
his
parents
set
about
doing
something
constructive
in
his
memory
and
to
help
prevent
other
fatalities.

Fishing
is
NOT PERMITTED on
the pond, even with a rod
license.
If you see anyone fishing
and feel comfortable please
point out the signs, if
this conversation turns
abusive call 101. Duck
Food Signs
in
the pond highlight the importance
of feeding the ducks with
grain. Bread pollutes the
pond water and is less healthy
for ducks. Healthier food
grain is available from
the Peppertree florist.
The fish feed themselves! |
