I cannot understand how the large, derelict office block at the end of Preston Park can have been left empty for so long when there is a desperate need for low-cost housing, especially student accommodation.

This block seems ideal for this type of accommodation and to think of knocking it down and building more office blocks when there are still empty ones further along seems totally irresponsible. And where are the cars to be parked?

Since the introduction of bus lanes, cars which parked along Preston/London Road by commuters using Preston Park Station are now spreading into the surrounding side roads, park dangerously on corners and causing chaos for residents.

No thought was given to this when bus lanes were introduced and parking restricted.

With the football season upon us again we will suffer on a Saturday, too - despite the Residents Only parking signs.

Yes, I am having a bad day!
