Comments on Area 6 Milman Road, Clarina Street, Bernard Street, Fairfield Street

We like:
Stunning perspectives - all three streets
Nice houses
Views across Arboretum (from Milman Road); also down across the valley from the other streets
Eye-catching features over doorways
Railings that differ from street to street, from house to house
Decorative brickwork
Interesting layout of gardens at top of Clarina and Bernard Street
An old wooden cart spotted on a roof - a quaint landmark or a bit of rubbish?

We dislike:
Too many parked cars on Milman Road
A plethora of satelite dishes on some streets
A once-busy little corner shop converted into a windowless wall
A charming little garden left in a state of neglect

What would make it better?
Allow parking on one side of Milman Road only
Cycle signs pointing to the Arboretum Cafe would be useful to touring cyclists, since Milman Road is earmarked as a link on National Cycle Route No. 1
Give advice and incentives to encourage the upkeep of gardens
Convert Pelican crossing at bottom of Fairfield Street to a Toucan, for local cyclists using the route from Tower to town
