Talk:Aspley, Nottingham

Untitled
I attempted to remove the hyperlink to broxtowe but it has been reverted. The link refers to the borough of broxtowe. Whereas the Broxtowe estate is being refered to and they are diffrent places.

This article has not made its mind up as to whether it is about the council housing scheme/estate or the general suburb known as Aspley. Parts of the article contains comment that has been applied to the council house scheme. Other comments relate to the wider area.

The suburb of Aspley contains substantial swathes of housing that has always been owner occupied - any journey along Aspley Park Drive, Glencairn Drive, Aspley Lane, Western Boulevard, Newlyn Drive, Nuthall Road and into the Melbourne Park Estate will show this.

If this article is about the Council House estate then the references to Melbourne Park and King George V Playing field and the Commodore should be removed. These places have never formed part of the Aspley Council House Estate - they are on the edges. In the case of the Commodore this is on the other side of Nuthall Road (considered to form a boundary between suburbs) and arguably belongs to a different suburb of the city altogether. Aspley Council House Estate is a considerably more tighter drawn area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.170.67 (talk) 21:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I am somewhat surprised that the area had issues with "poor housing". Just about the entire area has fairly substantially built housing constructed after 1924. The post 1924 housing was all built with plumbed in bathrooms as original features. I would also comment that the private housing has maintained by the owners. The council housing was the subject to a phased programme of refurbishment in the 1980's and 1990's. Speaking to older residents the Council Scheme was subject to a refurbishment in the 1960's. I accept that parts of the suburb (the council scheme to be blunt) may have had issues with anti-social behaviour or economic disadvantage. However "poor housing" needs to be expressly linked to an identifiable source. I have removed the term as it strikes me as a glib point of view statement. Being blunt it seems based on the notion that crime and anti-social behaviour are automatically linked to poor housing. Aspley is not an area which had overcrowded Victorian back to backs nor have 1950's and 1960's concrete maisonettes or tower blocks been flung up ~ to need to be pulled down because of endemic damp. 79.73.26.171 (talk) 21:16, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

School merge
I have suggested that Ambleside Primary School, Nottingham should be merged here as a non-notable primary school, as per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Any comments appreciated. CalzGuy (talk) 05:47, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
