Hi ,I am a new forum member [have lived in Ware for many years] and I am curious about a couple of things that are happening in the town . Does anyone know what is happening at the weir bridge behind the Angel pub just off Star street? For 17 years I have had access to the riverbank over this footbridge and it is now closed off .I initially assumed that either Thames water or the River Lea authority was about to start repair work ,but can't see anything taking place and am now wondering if perhaps one of the local firms or residents has decided to close this access, anyone out there with any info ? My second query is about the vacant land on Star street on the corner of Bowling road . Why has this land remained unused and derelict for all these years when the community really needs affordable homes etc ? I did find out some time ago from the council that the land is owned by Royal Mail Property Holdings and spoke to them earlier this year about clearing the place up , this they duly did and said they hoped to sell very soon ,this clearly hasn't happened ,so what is the problem here ? Again,any insights would be appreciated by a concerned resident
