I've sent an email to the council about it & other related issues, but I won't hold my breath. There's no representation from the council on site, so Gala can & will do whatever they want. Highly unlikely they'll ever be punished / fined because they've got the council under their thumb, and the council are so starved of funds they'd never risk biting the hand that feeds them. Also worth noting that in the consultation findings report there's a statement in the section "If the event goes ahead" - "At least 28 days prior to event taking place / Resident information letter posted to properties around the park (giving confirmed event information and resident ‘hotline’ number)" Anyone received one of these yet? No? So are Gala in breach of the council's Outdoor Events Policy? Probably. Will there be any consequence? Nah. Lastly, image attached of the cherry tree in the SW corner of the site, with white lines sprayed on the grass presumably indicating the position of the (very high) metal wall. Looks like the branch might get in the way, however will they resolve that....? -
Ryan Campbell (+44 7939 981908) from MS Heating and Plumbing was outstanding. When others, including Valliant, wouldn’t take on the job, Ryan stepped up and delivered expert boiler installation. His workmanship is top-notch, but what impressed me most was his follow-up and excellent network—reliable roofers and scaffolders made everything seamless. Price was competitive! Highly recommended! This is his card on the valliant site Master Tech! His reviews on Checkatrade helped me making my decision to hire him! https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/msheatingandplumbing1057174 Olivier -
Two Tuesdays ago, around 10:40, I was walking up Greendale, still in the flattish bit, just before the first side paths, when I met a family of geese who were walking down the path in the opposite direction. One adult at the front, accompanying maybe 8-10 little furballs, with a second bringing up the rear, honking loudly at about fifty to the minute. I moved out of their way and wondered what if anything to do. A man who was walking behind them -- I didn't know whether with them -- mentioned the park, which did seem the obvious good and likely destination. Wherever, they seemed to know what they were doing, and seemed to be getting on with it very well without any help at all, so I just stood there and wondered ... A couple of minutes later, no-one in sight. A woman sitting outside JAGS said she'd seen a man/men who'd stopped the traffic on EDG so that the geese could cross safely, so well done them. Did the geese get to the park, or anywhere hospitable? I was hoping and half expecting to read that they'd been seen arriving, but nothing here at all. -
The most successful (in the sense of being long-lived) indoor markets often wholly or mainly offer 'antiques' - as these stalls can be covered by others when the owners are absent - as they often can be, if dealers and attending auctions etc. Whoever acts as a support can offer a fixed discount or contact the owners for negotiation. Remember than most indoor markets survive by being open 7 days a week, if allowed - but the individual stalls are often one person bands who can't provide that level of cover, so will individually be closed for one or two days in the week. Too many closed (unless, as above, they are still at least virtually 'open for business') and the market will lose its attraction. One problem is that individuals may use the market to try out a business idea - the problem being that if successful they may then look for a 'proper' shop and leave the market. So the good outlets always move on. And the market holder then has to look for a new tenant.
