New Siam Gardens

The renovation of Siam Gardens in the North Street car park should be something to celebrate. A novel idea to incorporate it as part of a trail around the town telling the history of industry that made the town famous. Yet it has been beset with problems all set around not listening to residents when they were consulted or listening then seemingly going back on their word. This is not a council but an unelected quango, who have managed to get quite considerable funds from Government for different projects BUT who are difficult to call to account unless you know one of them personally. And that is wrong.
Lets hope that the issues can be resolved before the opening on the 4th April as Siam Gardens needs the residents surrounding it for this scheme to truely work.
