    Excellent news! I wonder if my ban will be lifted :P This guy will be onto an easy winner if her steps in and: 1. Drops the price to £1 2. Adds researched / detailed articles 3. Works to support local businesses and groups (such as this one) All things that Fee-ona failed to do.

    Ridiculous. I suggest that the cost for additional machinery that is needed due to their own actions is completely down to them. Otherwise they forfeit the deal as they falsely bid for and won a contract for which they cannot complete. Excellent, can you please push this hard at every meeting, because is a core issue that affects everything from grass cutting to public toilets. We're paying more and more and yet expected to do the work ourselves or pay again ontop

    I have to work that weekend, but I'll see if I can make a few days :)

    The traffic was fantastic for the first week or two but it seems to slowly be getting worse - what's the deal with that? I wouldn't say it's AS bad but it's not as good as it was a few weeks ago. I avoid it around school/work time, I don't know how bad it is then

    Not to mention that, given the length of the grass now, when it is cut back, there is the likelihood that the grass left will be yellowed and dead - as is the case in my garden. When the grass is long, the sun can't reach to the bottoms, so they yellow. They you cut the tops off and are left with a dead looking patch of grass

    What's that music festival that's somewhere out towards Bromyard? Nozstock?

    In the nicest possible way, I hope they get in trouble for it. Because that's what the council do, fine people and accuse them of criminal damage. I want this to happen for 2 reasons. 1. To further highlight the ineptitude of the council 2. So that the council don't get the idea into their head that the tax payer is going to pay the council for the privalage of doing the councils job for them

    Oh I have to go today, lots of green. I thought about going yesterday but wasn't sure if it would be open :P The green debris, of course, only being acceptable in black bags that you can't put in and have to rip open and put into the trucks loose becaus ethe bin men won't take them unless you pay for a rainbow of plastic bags and even then don't take the rubbish away... :P

    I tried to look at costs, needs more digging as it's not in the website which is fair enough. It looked pretty cool. As for the OLM, I haven't been back since as I've had no need to. Whenever I drive past it has been looking very empty if the sun isn't out. I'm contemplating the cinema and have never had a Nandos so we'll see how that goes

    Can I ask... ... why is it that we ALWAYS have the support of local councillors... yet nothing get's done? I realise sometimes they do dig up info or cut the grass like Jim did, but if all of the local councillors are in support of such things and against these issues and policies, why do they keep coming up? It's almost as if "local councillor" is just the next step up from "regular poster". Either this is a dictatorship with one bellend at the helm, or these local councillors are telling us one thing here but acting out something very different when they get into the meetings.

    Dippy, have you notice how the HT always have to slip in a little "we reported this before" line whenever they write an article about anyone else :P
  13. Biomech
    It's going well :) Maybe what they need is for a child or councillor to be in a car crash due to poor visibility, maybe then they will get their act together. Someone said it's a discretionary service that they don't have to do - but surely the point of the council is to better the area. This certainly isn't

    Bitcoin is great! It's decentralised and organic, it stops central governments controlling and abusing money, value, inflations etc

    The difference is that pay for toilets elsewhere are private enterprises as an addition to council amenities.
  16. Biomech
    I completely disagree Which is the point is it not? That such food places aren't allowed to open
  17. Biomech
    I disagree captain Wilson, if I had a shop in town I wouldn't want every one just walking in using my facilities. You have to remember that opening your toilets up for non patrons is an increase in man power, increase in cleaning, increase in cleaning products. Not to mention that if the toilets are "out the back" like in so many retail buildings you have issues of non insurance - which is why you find the large majority of businesses involved are pubs and those with existing customer amenities.

    What I find a shame is how the anti-UKIP people are always preaching about how ignorant everyone who agrees with UKIP policies are, yet they are the very ones falling for every bit of anti-UKIP propaganda

    I agree with Farage, he said he was worried about the high numbers or Romanian immigrants and the correlation to the high crime rate. Would you want to live next door to 50 early release paedophiles? People always take Farage's words out of context just for the media hyperbole. Me, I'd rather not live next door to Romanians simply because the I've had 3 different families of Romanians move in next door and each time they have been over crowded and very very loud. Had some Latvians once, small family, shouted a bit but on the whole pleasant enough

    Please for the love of God someone park a motorbike on there and get a ticket and take it to court!

    I'm all for business ventures, but pay to use toilets should be an ADDITIONAL service offered by private business owners. They should absolutely NOT be relied upon by the council in place of public toilets. We pay tax and going to the toilet is a human right - a necessity. Charging people for this is absolutely ridiculous, it is no different to charging people for farting. Again, cut my services as much as you like, but give me my ******* money back

    I don't think that would be an issue, in my experience people want a good sized burger, real chips or a kebab. Don't get me wrong I like McDonalds, but I think we've been there once on a night out in the last 20 years, that was on the way TO the pub just to get some quick food in. It's almost like arguing that McDonalds open in the daytime is making small business close in town, which we know isn't true. Plus McDonalds is far enough away from the clubs to make it "an effort" - I imagine Subway have seen smaller number since their move. The chip shop by Yates has a prime location, it's by the pubs, next to the taxi rank and on the way up into town/Play/Jailhouse/home/more taxis As for Charcoal Grill, that's worth the walk.

    I think it would be good and nice for the summer for sensible people to have a drink. However, I fear that it may be a place for the unlikeables to gather. I also concur with the whole no alcohol zone part.

    I don't think so no. The level of violence is the same, dare say increased, but it occurs indoors rather than outdoors now. That the staggered closing times and leaving of clubs seems to have reduced violence on the streets. If we conclude that violence occurs when crowds gather. Then it would make sense that the street violence that occurs now would be in places of high density. So I'm guessing that if you look at the statistics now, you'll find that street violence will be occurring around places like the Lunch Box, Subway and Petrol Station. Therefore, it would make sense to allow other food shops to open, for kebabs etc, as this would increase the number of possible gathering points, ultimately reducing the density of each site and, in turn, a reduction in violent outbreaks. If that one person who, in the club, wanted to punch you, still wants to punch you outside, right now, the threat still exists as everyone must go to the same food source. If there were 10 places for food to go to (over, lets say 1), the risk of the threat is diminished by 10x Ya digg!

    And, for what it's worth, I've seen more fights inside clubs in the past year than I have in the streets in the last 5 years
