BT to tidy eyesore site BT HAS been forced to act after criticism of its eyesore site in Bognor Regis. THe telecom giant's officers have agreed to improve the appearance of their telephone exchange at one of the town centre's main road entrances after the Bognor Regis Post passed on the complaints of Bognor town councillor Jeanette Warr. She said the state of the building's overgrown grassed surroundings on Gloucester Road was a disgrace and let the town down. THe site has become
covered with weeds, thistles, grasses and wild flowers up to four foot high. "THis site is just an eyesore," said Cllr Warr, a former town mayor.

"It has got to be the worse looking site in the town centre and I can't understand their attitude. THey ought to be shamed into improving it." THe condition of the BT plot this week was in direct contrast to the work which Arun District Council has done on the opposite side of Gloucester Road with the same gardens and the grassed verge. THe neighbouring Gloucester House
building owned by the government also has its grounds maintained regularly. Butlin's also keeps the area around the entrance to its nearby holiday resort in pristine condition, she said. But BT has failed to even cut the grass on its site this year until contacted by the Bognor Regis Post. THis has allowed the land to become an unsightly mess with out of control growth of various heights. Turn to page 4
