I WISH to let the people of Scotforth West know there is no truth to the rumour that there is going to be a driveway through the big gap in the high wall on Belle Vue Terrace.

Tree roots were pushing against this wall, which surrounds a council property known as Greaves House, causing deterioration and making it very unsafe. There was serious concern that it may collapse and I was asked if it could be repaired.

I contacted the council and am glad to report that this work is now being done, using the same stone. It is an expensive job but necessary for the public's peace of mind. When complete the wall will be fine and safe once more.

Cllr Sheila E Denwood, Scotforth West
