Mill Hill Latest - Etz Chaim School fails it's first test

The governors of Etz Chaim school have said that they want to be accepted as a welcome edition to the Mill Hill community. It appears that they've failed their first test. I received  a call last night from an affronted local resident who said "Have you seen what they have done"

A row of the ugliest concrete anti tank barriers I've ever seen has been "dumped" in front of the site of the ex garden centre.  The Action Group press release stated that they would refrain from issuing the court papers for their legal challenge, until after the Jewish holiday season. In response the school have planted these. I fully understand the need to have security, but there is no reason that such features can't be landscaped. Such features could be disguised as flower displays etc. As it is, we have a complete eyesore.

Given that there are no children on site and no building work in progress, this appears to be two fingers up to the local community and doesn't bode well for the future. As the blocks have been hired, it seems to me a rather expensive gesture. I urge the school to remove the eyesore blocks ASAP and replace them with something more suitable. Surely wood barrels, filled with concrete and flower beds on the top would be far more visually pleasing and just as effective, if there is a genuine need for such tank traps.

I am disappointed that the school don't seem to realise that uglification of Mill Hill will win them no friends at all
