As most will have already heard, a serious attack occurred late Saturday night/early Sunday morning in the car park off city road in Chester Green. Currently, a 25 year old man is being questioned by police, but the 19 year old girl who was attacked is still critically ill in hospital. A 19 year old man was also injured in the attack. More details can be found at the evening telegraphs website, here. Lets hope the man the police have in for questioning is the guilty party….
There has been a number of incidents of cars being broken into in the last few weeks in Chester Green and across handyside bridge in the five lamps area. Please make sure that no bags etc. are on show in your cars, and please report any suspicious people hanging around cars at night! The police’s NEW non-emergency number is 0345 123 33 33.
I’m sorry to report that Gypsies have, yet again, broken down barriers in order to gain access to Darley Fields car park off Old Chester Road. The park rangers have informed the police. Let’s see how much of a mess they make of Chester Green this time….. 🙁

The Little Chester Residents Association need to hear from you so that we can represent your views to the city council.
Aida gave their plans to demolish the foundry building (apart from the front facade) and build 166(!) dwellings on the land on Christmas eve…..I can only imagine that they chose this date to hopefully get it through without anyone having time to question it.
The residents association are having a meeting on 5th Jan to discuss the proposals, but please post any comments here on the website.
I’ll not comment on them until after the LCRA meeting!

Today, some residents of Chester Green received the following letter from Hopwood regarding a public consultation about new plans for the Aida Bliss factory on City Road (which used to be known as the Union Foundry).
Dear Resident,
Public Consultation: Union Mills, Chester Green.
We are holding a public event to present the plans for restoration and redevelopment of the Union Mills, Chester Green.
The views of local people are very important to us, and we would like to invite you to attend the event, to see for yourselves the plans for the area and give your views on them.
The plans propose the restoration of the frontage of the foundry building and a new lease of life for the site with sympathetically designed, high quality town houses and apartments.
The event will be held at St. Paul’s Church Hall, Seale Street, Chester Green.
Thursday 6th November: 12 – 8 pm
Friday 7th November: 12 – 5 pm
Saturday 8th November: 9am – 1 pmWe look forward to showing you the proposals and hearing your views.
Karen Bateman
Event Organiser
Hopefully their claims of ‘sympathetically designed’ plans are true, although it seems dissappointing that even more apartments are planned for this conservation area!
The more people that turn up to these events the better, so please try and be there to give your views!
Hopwood can be contacted at enquiries@hopwood.co.uk and their website address is www.hopwood.co.uk although it must be noted that this is a PR agency and NOT the developers involved in the project (note that the developer is not named in the letter….)
