Network Rail Arches update

Although disappointed that we have not as yet confirmed a tenancy agreement for the arches with Network RaiL, we are still hopeful that, by working together and in partnership with various organisation inculding; Network Rail, the Development Trust Assocaition and the Asset Transfer Unit  we will eventually reach mutually agreeable terms and conditons for a proposed tenancy of the arches.
This would be the culmination of several years voluntary hard work in which we have,  by working together and in partnership with others helped to care for and improve the visible appearance of the previously unsecure and derelict condition of arch D, as the pictures below may help to demonstrate.
This arch and other arches were previously and regulalry used for anti - social and criminal activity such as; drug mis - use, anti social drinking and arson.
