This Volvo convertable was not here at 3am when I took my dog for a walk and the Evening Star reports it was found ablaze at 6am Sunday 23rd April 06. It is in one of the laybyes on the road from Nacton Road to Bridgewood and a good 500 metres from ANY gate which are supposedly to prevent this happening. This occasionally happens on the estate I live on and there are no gates on my estate including my front gates which were stolen a couple of weeks ago. I naturally reported the theft to the police and as yet my report has not even been acknowledged yet alone had a crime number and that was a good two weeks ago. The car in the picture is only 2-3 year old as it is on a 55 plate and was being taken away when I took the photo.

I have finally managed to make contact with a volunteer on the disability access rights issue and he has given me a telephone number which I rung today and got the e-mail addy of Mr Andy Sheppard who I immediately mailed and as yet I am awaiting a reply. Tonight I was chatting with a man from my area who was also aghast at the mutilation of Bridgewood where he also spent his child hood some 30 years after me. The whole issue is rapidly becoming a scandal as nobody has yet been able to tell me why Bridgewood was not just left to Suffolk Coastal who had done a good job looking after it to date. I and everybody I speak to about it cannot understand why community charge payers money has been spent buying something which was already there and is not within IBC boundary. I can understand action with no reason if somebody is making money out of this but other wise the reason for spending many thousands if not millions of community charge payers money escapes me completely. Isn't it about time IBC explained their actions here? Pics here http://www.flickr.com/photos/ipswich/
