A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...

The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.

We also recommend Aaron. Very reliable, reasonably priced and did a fantastic job on our hallway and bedroom ceiling. A pleasure to work with and left the house very tidy at the end of the job. Thank you

The point is to discover if there are ways of choosing who delivers to you and ensure your items are delivered securely. While it should be fine to have items on your doorstep, it’s not.

I work from home so don’t need to collect from anywhere.

I’m quite sure that when I bought from JL they said how it would be delivered when I was choosing delivery. Is that not the same when you buy from Amazon? If it didn’t say, or if I wasn’t happy with the names courier, I’d arrange to collect it if I couldn’t be home, as bigmacca1 says.

John Lewis’ delivery companies have left a few items outside my front door without ringing the bell. Other times they rang the bell. It seems to depend on which company is delivering. Amazon also leaves items outside without ringing the bell or even sending me tracking. They used to be very good about this though.

Thank you Veronica

Wanted desktop computer . Please get in touch.

The actual problem is thieves trespassing on your property and stealing your property. But yes, let’s list the companies we buy from who deliver carelessly and then we can collectively avoid them. I’ll start. John Lewis - has to be signed for Forthglade - has to be signed for Amazon - will leave on doorstep but detailed tracking is available so there is time to ask a neighbour to pick it up, or to be home yourself Ebay - seller specific. You can ask (before you buy/pay) for the item to be posted recorded delivery or with tracking. The things I bought all needed to be signed for.

Famous politician who is corrupt getting an award from a famous organisation with strong allegations of corruption. What a coincidence. Then the next day Trump says the NFL should consider a new name that isn't "football". Funny how he came up with that idea so suddenly....
