Today council officers have written to the current owners of the Royal Oak site to radically clean up the site.

“We have all been trying to get this done properly for months and now the council is finally in a position to formally request a complete clean up”, said Cllr Jon Twigge.  “If the site is not cleared in a month then more action will be taken.”

We are still waiting on more news on the McCarthy and Stone development which if passed would probably have meant a faster clean up as they took control of the site.

The full clean up should consist of:

• Reglaze all broken windows to the front, rear and sides of the building OR cover all windows, doors and other opening to the building using metal shutters or painted plywood.
• Remove all broken down/damaged or derelict motor vehicles being stored on the land.
• Remove all fly tipped and other waste from the land and dispose of it at a licensed waste disposal site.
• Remove all other extraneous waste and litter from the land and dispose of it at a licenced waste disposal site.
• Cut back and remove all overgrown vegetation from the land and dispose of it at a licensed waste disposal site.
