That poster doesn't even have the date on it, does it? Ticket sales might be helped if they sorted their advertising out.... We already have Picnic in the Park at Forty Hall and similarly named Wildstock, both coming with music,[…]
What I should have been more clear about is the effect on the council finances challenging any kind of application. I had forgotten the reason why they pulled back from the previous challenge against Merkur Slots which was clarified elsewhere[…]

I've been trying for some months to discover how the Council were going to square the granting of a licence last year for an adult gaming centre with the policy banning clusters of betting shops. Reading the application, the argument[…]

No mow would improve water retention on verges so that's a weak argument. Maintenance does come to bear when leaves are not cleared in autumn though. Agreed re driveways. I've even reported some with pictures showing a garden then a[…]
