Local eyesore facing demolition?

A local eye sore which is attracting vandalism and anti-social behaviour has taken a step closer to being demolished.

The set of Garages bordering Ashmore Park adjacent to the Wednesfield Aces Cycle Speedway have been in a poor state of repair for a number of years. This has led to damage, flytipping and grafitti, as well as the garages being usedSeveral of these long-term unused/derelict garages have been broken into and vandalised.Over the last few years the garages have been boarded up to little affect as they are regularly broken into and used to dump rubbish and industrial waste.Drug paraphernalia can also be found on the floor and fires have been lit inside.Why these garages have not either been demolished or sealed properly so that people cannot gain access (perhaps using the metal shutters used on empty/derelict houses) I do not know.As you will see from the attached photo, this is hardly a welcoming sight to those visiting the local park and cycle speed way track.

Selling Porkies

As you are all probably aware the 4 year long legal wrangle between Dave Price, of David Price butchers of Ashmore Park, and Wolverhampton Homes over the sale of hot pork baps from his shop has been settled, with Wolverhampton Homes deciding to relent in their pursuit of a court hearing and dropping the case against Dave.

david_price

We spoke to Dave the day after he heard the news from his solicitors and he was relieved to be able to put the ordeal behind him:

“The support I’ve had from the people of Ashmore Park has been fantastic – I just want to be able to get on with things and earn a living now as it’s been hanging over me for so long. Hopefully now I, along with the other shopkeepers in the precinct can work together to to serve Ashmore Park and the wider community as intended”

Dave went on to tell us of his plans to thank the community that rallied behind him, of which he is a popular long serving member, by selling his now infamous pork baps for a limited period at the reduced price of only £1.

So what are you waiting for – get down to David Price Butchers, 70 Griffiths Drive, Ashmore Park (or for the locals – the bottom shops) to pick yourself up a porky treat!
