Hi Bob It is a compliment to Jonathan and a polite way of saying (in my opinion) Gregor Development / Properties / Shore are not real speculative developers.

In the earlier news reports the Veiled Lady was a Teaching Assistant but now the media refer to her only as a Teacher and there is a big difference between the two.

Dear Jonathan

Are you the owner of the ground floor accommodation at the foot of Bath Street and do you know if the residents in the old building above the pub (26 Promenade) will be notified?

Immediate Neighbours

Dear Brenda

Is there a difference between immediate neighbours and neighbours? I ask because only three flats were notified in this block (old tenement Foot of Bath Street / Promenade). Those were the three flats above the chip shop each with a side window looking on to the fenced land.
