Colin James

Well there was talk of knocking it down for houses I think sometime ago, but not heard any more. all the grass is overgrown there now, will not be long before vandals start.

Colin- as I have said to you before I am following up with Amey to put a yellow box in their recommendations for the proposed wotk around the Belmont roundabout which should of started in June, I will speak to them again on Monday as to what the delay is, reminding them again about the yellow box.

Okay thanks, I spoke with another resident of Belmont last night and he suggested maybe part time traffic lights which is another option, but the traffic in the morning is a joke. OK I will wait for your update thank you.

Do we have any updates?

Colin, I can now see the heron thanks.

I am not stupid, I know about computers as well.It was my 11 yr old son who registered on here as football boy and wrote the comments he has now been banned from coming on here.And please can you remove him from this website.He has had a good telling off. Thanks

Thank you for the clarification. I knew it was the same computer and location being used hence my comments above.

His account has been suspended permanently.

Nice picture Collin, I can see the swan but where is the heron, you will have to find is the Kingfisher, the rubber tiers and the TV next.

Roger it is not a swan sir, trust me,I know the difference have another look, and if you look carefully you will see him perched on the wood, I took this one just before the other one as the other was much better picture.

When/where can I get the results of the election?

I think they will be available in the morning at the Belmont Centre. Good luck to all candidates.

They can stuff this website I thought that is what it is for to put your point of views across IT'S A SAD DAY FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.  

Yes now after she tryed to pass the problem on to someone else

Ok unless you can contribute more positively please refrain from posting as I am getting fed up with the nasty comments. This is your first warning, another 2 and you will be banned. You have not had anything to say contructivly since you joined the other day.

All councillors have a difficult and sometimes demanding role, so cut some slack please unless of course you think you can do better.

Oh look he missed this one too

Reading through the emails I can see cllr Powell is helping sort out the grass verges in Belmont,so why can she not sort out the state of the ponds like Lpusseycat asked.they are also in Belmont.

Councillor Powell is not the only councillor around here!! and as far as I am aware she is already on the case but to be fair to her it was only reported in the last 24 hours, so she is acted pretty quickly in my opinion.

I understand that councillor Edwards was only walking around belmont pool the other day and as lpusseycat has rightly pointed out there is all this rubbish dumped there, so how on earth did he miss this lot?

That's funny the only person Admin has is Cllr G Powell on there profile page.So they must be close friends.

And your point being??? Actually the forum has only been up a week and admin has 2 friends, but you can add as many friends as you want.

A Heron over Belmont Pool, I took this evening

Dear, dear,Colin

 

The reason Cllr Powell is the most active on this website, because it is her website, now! Now! I thought you had sussed it out by now.

Roger, Your information is so so totally wrong sir! you could not be further from the truth, your sources are not accurate at all, maybe you should suss that one.

Belmont Voice does not! represent any single persons, this website is a vehicle/voice for the residents of the Belmont Ward, nothing more nothing less, so if anyone wants to challenge that fact please make sure your information is correct before publishing what you think.

Cllr Powell however, seems to be one of the only active councillors helping out here and trying her best to answer the questions our members are asking.

It is not a personal attack or a nasty sarcastic comment on cllr powell.
I was only commenting on what I saw up the lake today.Instead of asking another councillor about the rubbish up the lake why couldn,t cllr Powell have gone and seen for herself or just said she would look into it and see why Amey hadn't cleared the rubbish.
I thought that is why you are a councillor to help the people in the community.
I will not be writing any thing else on here because someone complains about things they don't like it was the same on the Belmont rural website and that closed down.

I did not think she was the parish councillor, vacant position is it not? maybe you did not think about that before you started laying the blame at her door.

Where is Cllr Edwards then??? is he not the chairman? he has been invited on here several times, thought he was there to represent us all too?

I must remind Cllr Powell that she was elected to represent the residents, and not to pass the buck on to another councillor.

May I remind you that councillor Powell is not the only councillor to represent us in the Belmont ward,but she seems to be the most active, especially on here answering as many questions as she can. She is accused of passing the buck? as at the moment she is not a parish councillor is she? thought that position was vacant until Thursday, so what else was she supposed to do then?

I think it's all uncalled for, quite nasty some of the comments to be fair, but it is getting a little bit boring now. Voting takes place tomorrow so lets all just wait and see.

Thats funny I took the dogs for a walk this morning, Wednesday and the Tyres are still in the same place as 2 months ago.They are on the far side by the Haywood lane and there is some about 30 yards east of the first lot,the carpet is still in the water on the north side.Are you not a local councillor representing Belmont are you not able to act on your own , it looks like you have to have to Councillor Edwards to hold your hand.
I have a lot of admarration for you and I think you are a good councillor ,but what suprises me is why do you need councillor Edwards help.

OK that's enough please of the personal attacks on Cllr Powell, from what I have just read Cllr Powell was trying to be helpful, but you seem determined to be critical of everything she does! Please be more positive in your replies or if you find that difficult just refrain from posting. I would advise you to also read the forum rules at this stage if you have not done so already. We do not edit posts on this site, unlike other sites, however, if your post continue in such a negative manner I will be left with no choice.

The site has been registered for 2 years initially and providing it is used by our members it will stay active and updated indefinitely.
