Jack Straw's Falmer Watch No 11 (27/2/09).

[Jack Straw]

Sub-base to road widening on north side of Village Way all in place, compacted and ready for tarmac.
Top soil being graded on to bank leading down from this towards stadium site area.
Readymix concrete being poured in to holes on south side of Village Way.
Lots of contouring of land.
Each week the hole just gets bigger and bigger -Ooh Matron!

 

[Scoffers]

Quality. With all this doom and gloom about our league position and lack of securing a new gaffer, this is a bright ray of sunshine! Good work fella!

 

[strings]

Brilliant work.

 

[Exmouth Seagull]

Excellent work, a welcome tonic, keep 'em coming.

 

[Black Country Seagull]

Great work chap i salute you

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

looks like a building site

 

[Dave the OAP]

I hope they had planning permission to take down that magnificent specimen of tree, which looks like an Ash

you sound depressed

 

[blockhseagull]

Hey

I sold them that mesh in the bottom picture !!!

 

[Taybha]

Shame the 200 year old oak tree that lord huxam the 1st hung a patron for smoking in a non designated area has been felled,but hey life goes on eh

 

[Jack Straw]

To those concerned about the tree, it was a Sycamore, and indeed, permission was ashed for because yew need permission for this sort of thing. This was indeed granted by the Council.
Don't worry. There will be hundreds of new trees replanted as the stadium nears completion.
I'm going elm now, or I might walk along the beech!

 

[cjwoolven]

Thanks for the pics, as always

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Judging by Jack's always-excellent photos, the sky is always so blue at Falmer that we probably won't need a roof

 

[herbicide]

Don't worry. There will be hundreds of new trees replanted as the stadium nears completion.

Indeed.

And after a few years, a veritable forest of trees will grow up again through the ivy and tumbleweed.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Can you see what it is yet?

 

[severnside gull]

needed cheering up.

thank you

 

[TrickyOne]

Top quality photography as usual Mr Straw. Did you sneak inside the barrier for that last piccy??

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Is this some sort of j-OAK?

 

[Normandy seagull]

Can someone please explain in simple terms what is going on in the picture. think I asked this before but can't remember. To me it looks like they are widening the road to make a new dual carridgeway?? why?
