do you know what addresses these properties are? it will give us more chance of tracking down owners. Thanks.
I think there are 6 houses. They do not have numbers, but the houses on either side are 43 and 47 Verdi Close
Number is probably 44 or 44-46. Only number 44 is recognised by Royal Mail in their postcode finder, 44-46, probably the same property, is mentioned in a document (dated 2007) on Hampshire County Council website: http://www.hampshire.gov.uk/decisions/decisions-index/index-docs-6563.html
We have investigated the properties in question and they are owned by a developer who is in the process of seeking planning permission to develop the site He has made the properties secure and as such we areunable to take any further action at this time Thank you for your vigilance and for reporting the matter
there is more graffiti on the houses and fences now than when originally reported; the houses look as though they have been broken into at least once, and have open windows and skylights; security fencing has been knocked over in places; given the recent house, garage, and vehicle arsons in the area, I expect this complex might be affected soon.
