BCTV - OLD BJ SCHOOL MAIN STREET
WHAT A DISGRACE for the village and such an eye sore - located within the premier and the most significant heritage location in our village - is one of the few remaining Heritage buildings within BJ. It is the Old BJ School - now “not so grandly leased” and certainly not grandly kept and serviced by of all people – the BCTV ( British Conservation Trust Volunteers ) .
Some two years ago BJO independently approached the Trust to seek their co-operation in tidying up the site and allowing the community access to the grounds for the passing of some of their leisure time, during the frequents visits to the village centre. This was amicably discussed and improvements were made including tidying up the site - opening the access gate for our resident to gain access etc..
BCTV - EYESORE in BJ
Now once again it has all been allowed to deteriorate way beyond imagination.
WHY is it that the BJPC, BJ Village Plan, St Helens Church ( owners of the site) and possibly the BJ Preservation Society cannot /do not, get together and resolve the matter with the BCTV once and for all . After all we understand the present BCTV lease does not expire until 2021- do we have to tolerate another 10 years of this eyesore – tumble down Asbestos building – and the constant deterioration of the grand Old School’s building fabric ?
If so Why?
If NOT - PLEASE can an agreement be reached quickly - This unnecessary eyesore has been in existence far too long
