MADAN ROAD, A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT to the north-east of the town centre, consists mainly of older property with many traditional features -
hung tiling, red scalloped tiles on upper storeys and gable ends, sash and bay windows. The estate has also suffered more modern infill development, and for the most part this has not been designed to blend in or to incorporate these features.
There are pleasant green spaces in the Madan Road, Hartley Road and Ash Road areas, and many of the houses are well set back from the road. There is a wide variety of fencing between the properties, including chain link; hedges would cert-ainly have been preferable.
