At the weekend, I enjoyed a walkabout of the Woodside area in the sunshine. This area has a beautiful swimming pool located at Braid Square.

The building at 10 Great George Street is extremely vulnerable to severe weather events. It is vital that the building owners take action to restore this villa for use as affordable housing as soon as possible.
