The 'Eyesore' still stands!

Once a symbol of Coventry’s proud manufacturing excellence, the derelict Watchmaker’s factory on Allesley old Road now epitomises all that can go wrong with our area.

The financial incompetence of the Conservative Council has left the city to rot like the building. Jobs and vital services are being cut as they try to balance a deficit of millions.

The derelict site is also attracting anti social behaviour, with local residents even reporting drug use! Worryingly a damaged fence allows children access to the dangerous building.

Something needs to be done...

Got your leaflet yesterday, glad to see Geoffrey actually in Coventry rather than Tuscany or Surrey.

Does he still want to demolish the historic watchmakers factory, as he stated in his parliamentary report last year?
