It's St Georges Day today. A day to be proud to be English. Fly the flag for England.

In the words of Victor Meldew. I don't believe it....... blink.gif
Still at least the other Streets of Newbury may have less drunks in it today!

It is a party for the residents. No mention of any alcohol.

Perhaps DannyBoy lives in St Georges Avenue....

Its a lesson to us all though. Throw all your cr@p out onto the street, let your dogs do their mess anywhere you like and wait for someone to come along, spend £150,000 on 'sprucing' your area up and then get thrown a free party. I'm going home to chuck my old mattress out on the pavement.

No not at all. Housing associations don't organize street piss ups.

To those people dissing St George's Avenue residents (all of them, by implication): do you have first hand knowledge of this, or is it hearsay?

Personally, I've only been down there when on the bus (a rare occurrence it has to be said) and haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, but wouldn't choose to go down there otherwise. I have my own opinions of the area, but it's all hearsay and I wouldn't post them as fact here.

No, they just house them! tongue.gif Anyway, no-one said they had, only that it is where the drunks could be found.

We never said all of the residents, but there are some unsavoury types down there. Here's a link to the the latest fact (there have been others)!

Newbury magistrates court heard how Kevin Williams assaulted a man who was visiting his girlfriend

Yeah but from my experience of such estates, it is always a minority of residents that cause 95% of the problems.

PS, at what level of expenditure does a housing 'estate' become a 'development'?!
