Well, what a huge surprise! So, while the council digs up local footpaths to plant trees and 'green' the roads, it simultaneously offers up our parkland to private hire for a further extended period of annual damage. It is hard to see from the map, but it looks as though the footpath that was formerly available to walk along the length of the event site of old will now also be partially used up by the new footprint, it looks like it will be partly roped off? I love how the final council report advise that 'while locals will be unable to use this nicer part of the park for a month ( and actually much of summer as it all gets churned up and has to be reseeded) that this is fine as they can just use the Common instead. It feels wrong that the nicer part of the park is given over for festival use. I do not buy that, as has been stated, the Common is just not big enough for the Gala event. -
No sympathy, collect rain water, reuse grey water from the house. Plant drought gardens. Have yellow grass in the summer, it will turn green again,. Not sure why on earth we have this term hard working families - suggests that everyone else is lazy. Kids cost money and that can continue until they are well into adulthood! You make your own choices, and it is right that if you use more water you pay more. I expect most of us have cut our water usage since going onto a meter. -
Lheda has now been coming for over a year and has been great. She also knows which cleaning products are best to use and recommends products that we need - which have made a big difference. -
