It does seem to be a bit tidier now though, on the positive side!

Embracing online social culture, very good. My main point is I'm really please that the Forest is going to see a make-over. I went to school opposite for many years and we, as kids, barely dared go in the Forest. It wasn't run-down, so to speak, but a place that wasn't welcoming to families and children, with a number of vagrants always hanging around. So, I'm throughly please this venture is going ahead. I hope you embrace a stylish, modern concept that opens the Forest to all, as a welcoming, relaxing and enticing spot. Good luck! Hi,
