Octavia Hill Residents thank Waterloo Business Centre

Octavia Hill Residents Association ( OHRA ) would like to thank Waterloo Business Quarter  ( WBQ ) for their assistance in clearing up a problem in Webber Street.

Those residents living immediately opposite this area have noticed and appreciated the difference with bi weekly clean has made to this area.

The OHRA committee and residents would like to thank WBQ for the work they have undertaken, which has greatly improved the area and is no doubt appreciated by customers of The Old Vic
