A Nightmare on Treville Street

Despite what it looks like, this is not Freddy Krueger's home in the Nightmare on Elm Street horror films, but the boarded-up remains of Roehampton's Conservative Club.

The Club was closed down by the Police in January after a drugs raid. The Conservatives then embarked upon a rather embarrassing and half-hearted attempt to claim that the Club was "nothing to do with us, guv" despite several senior Tories, including former Putney Conservative Councillor Michael Chartres and current Southfields Conservative Association Chairman Terry Walsh being trustees of the club.

What with one of the Roehampton Conservative Councillors now living in Bournemouth but refusing to resign his seat and let the area choose a more committed replacement; the recent outrageous blog about the Alton Estate by another Conservative Councillor, the pending closure of the Putney Vale Youth Club and the boarding up of their Conservative Club, Roehampton Tories aren't doing at all well, are they?
