IT'S a wall more than 100 years in the making.

A massive new retaining wall between the Ipswich Bowls Club's top and bottom greens has been installed with the help of the Ipswich City Council.

The wall, landscaping and installation of new seating along the edge of the main green cost more than $400,000, but was vital for the safety of the club, according to club chairman Darryl Knight.

Mr Knight said once the hill began to shift towards the lower green it had to be replaced.

"We used to whipper snip the whole thing," he said.

"It used to be a very steep grass hill and keeping it maintained was dangerous enough.

"We'd been on to the council about replacing it, but when it started to move they came straight in and helped us out.

"We couldn't be more appreciative to them for their help."

Parks, Sport and Recreation Committee chairman David Morrison said investment was vital to maintaining the historic Queens Park club.

"This is part of our program of refurbishing Ipswich parks for the enjoyment of residents," Cr Morrison said.

KUCHING: The assistance of MBKS or any relevant authority is needed to remove overgrown trees at the back alley of some houses at Green Heights Lorong 4D1.

The trees are growing out of a retaining wall just above a commercial car showrooms plot of land below the houses.

Residents fear the roots may cause irreversible damage to the retaining wall, which may be dangerous if left untended over the long haul.

In addition, with the trees growing over the safety rail and onto the back alley, that particular section is full of red ants, not to mention it could also become a dark and shady spot for unsavoury characters to hang around, said a resident, who declined to be named.

The back alley connects from one end of the row of terrace houses at Lorong 4D1 to the other end at Lorong 4D.

Grant Haxton, 17, a junior at La Caada High School and a member of Boy Scout Troop 509 at JPL for the past six years, has earned the Eagle Scout rank. He will receive the award at a ceremony scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, June 13 in Von Karman Auditorium. The public is invited.

For his Eagle leadership service project, Haxton built retaining walls on a slope on the Lutheran Church in the Foothill campus. He installed drip irrigation on an automatic timer, and amended the soil with compost. He organized four work days and directed the work of 22 others, totaling 454 hours of labor. The walls were built with stackable blocks donated by Angelus Block Co. and a concrete base donated by AMH Recycling.

At LCHS, Haxton is on the varsity water polo and swim teams and played freshman baseball.

COUNCIL bosses are being forced to splash out 500,000 on emergency repairs to a crumbling Gourock sea wall.

Excavation work taking place at the Kempock Street car park ahead of 500,000 repairs.

COUNCIL bosses are being forced to splash out 500,000 on emergency repairs to a crumbling Gourock sea wall.

Urgent work is needed on the structure along the towns Kempock Street car park and it is expected to begin at the same time as the controversial 5.25m one-way redevelopment.

It comes after Inverclyde Council drafted in experts to survey the stability of the sea wall.

They soon discovered that a rapid quick-fix is needed to secure its long-term future.

But the repairs are set to cost 500,000 double the amount set aside for the work in the current budget.

Now officials have had to ask councillors to approve extra cash for the project.

It will be taken from the 2015/16 funding pot.
