THE news has been broadcast that a few more parking spaces have been approved for Avon and Stour Courts located at Eagle and Poole Road.
What hasn't been broadcast is the removal of the trees and grass and the very lovely open green space that's so vital to the passers by as well as to the residents.
There's convenience and there's destruction: how sad we all are to see that, once again, the trees and the grass are to be sacrificed for a handful more car spaces that could rightly be found by a fresh approach to the shortage.
They Paved Paradise... And Put Up A Parking Lot. Eagle and Poole Road may not be paradise but it’s the only open, viewer-friendly green space on the entire run from Bournemouth to the end of Poole Road. Wave goodbye as you pass because nature is about to be displaced by metal and fumes and noise.
CAROL GAUDEN, Princess Road, Poole
