DECEMBER NEWS IN BRIEF

PLANNING APPROVAL FOR WINDOWS
LICHFIELD COURT'S much-delayed window replacement programme received a major boost on December 13 when the planning committee of Richmond Council approved Festalfine’s application for new windows. Their decision, which was recommended by the council’s planning officer and supported by English Heritage, means that the multi-million pound plan is now cleared to proceed in 2008.

If you would like to make a contribution, please hand it to the duty porter in an envelope marked ‘Staff Christmas Box’ or post it through the letterbox of Reception.
