Across Southampton City Centre, Ocean Village & St Mary's (SO14), Shirley, Freemantle & Central Station (SO15), Bassett, Lordshill & Southampton Common (SO16), Highfield, Portswood & University Campus (SO17), seasonal Atlantic windstorms and freeze-thaw cycles take a heavy toll on mortar ridge beds, valley leadwork, and ageing roofing felt.
