Race against time
After my rant last week about the state of Uxbridge town centre during the current improvements I have been reliably informed they will be completed by the end of the month.
Well that gives them three days in my book to finish to work and rid the town centre of a building site. It's going to a close call as having just returned from my 'High Street patrol' there is still plenty of rubble to be navigated, dust to be inhaled and noise to be endured.
There does, however, seem to be a new urgency amongst the army of workmen on the project - perhaps they read my blog last week and decided they better get a move on!.
I also note with interest that the giant stone balls by the entrance to the Mall Pavilions now have 'soft' blue lights placed around them. I wonder how long it will be before after a few drinks someone calls the newsdesk to tells us aliens have landed in Uxbridge town centre!.
Anyway, I will be watching with interest on Friday to check the work has been completed and that the town centre is restored to its natural beauty.
PS: I am not against the improvements in the town centre and I actually believe they will make it more attractive - I just can't understand why it has taken so long.......
