Things I Saw On My Walk This Morning

Trying To Be Objective !!!

Oh boy I really wish I was a clever writer that could make my points without getting emotional. I would love to be able to write this post and be totally objective. However I am finding it increasingly difficult. Living in our neck of the woods is becoming much like living in a battle zone with various authorities. We are a little 1 ½ mile area sandwiched between Tanworth In Arden and Earlswood with sporadic houses tucked in between fields. We were once a pleasant and quiet place to live. Of course home is still home and I love it dearly however the surrounding infrastructures, including a)     Roads b)     Speeds c)      Potholes d)     Noise e)     Crime f)       Planning Is slowly making life unpleasant. I suppose it isn’t just one thing by its self it is the accumulation of all things and it really is just mounting up. We have recently endured tipper Lorries tipping between the hours of 11:30 pm and 12 am. Why they are tipping at that time in the evening/morning I don’t know.

Pothole Alert Very Dangerous

To anyone driving along Forshaw Heath LANE in the direction of Poolhead Lane please be careful of this pothole" Forshaw Heath Lane" about 40 yards  away from the T Junction  on the left hand side outside the Bungalow. I have reported as I suspect others have as well.

Time To Take Stock !

Be Warned Long Post With A purpose Back to normality the blog has quietened down and I can have a bit of a waffle to myself. Sky News prompted me. This post is about jogging memories Having listened to Sky news in the background this morning, I have sort of been catapulted backwards, with old memories with my brain being jogged into action. Its strange isn’t it! You suddenly see a place you have been or visited plastered all over the news unfortunately in this case for very sad circumstances, how it affects you personally! My thoughts are with those families that have been affected by loss of loved ones at Mont Blanc. Picture J.Astbury Jan 1991  Photo scanned and sorry about the cat hairs on the Scanner Although I am not a climber, I have had the experience of skiing across The Valle Blanc many years ago. Oh boy what an experience that was. I can understand the buzz that people get from being out doors and exploring what Mother Nature has to offer. Moving On? Sky News

I am Really Pleased

I am chuffed to bits that Parish Council now has it's new website and even happier that they are uploading minutes from AGMs, Planning, Finance and and PC Meetings. Please read the guidance notes on the link below which takes you directly to  the Tanworth In Arden Parish Council meetings page. http://www.tanworth-pc.org.uk/wordpress/meetings/   I have now been able to change the links on my blog for the March April and May minutes and they are directly downloadable from the Parish Council Website. So for this particular adventure, I hopefully will not need to use Scribd or Dropbox and the documents are hosted where they belong and accessible to those in the community that are interested. A huge thank you to PC and the Webmaster. Please note they are in PDF format. I really hope PC will show more than 3 months worth of minutes unlike previously and create an archive.

I Have something To Say - Communication!

There is something I really want to write about and I don’t quite know where to start or how to approach it, as so many thoughts are occurring at once, to be honest my thoughts are like a tangled up ball of string and I am pondering on how I untangle them. So what better way than to scribble them down What an earth am I talking about? Don’t laugh but it started off with one particular paragraph in the SDC Draft Development Framework Plan and then disappeared into the realms of communities working together etc. Then flitted back to if our councils can’t work together nor than the Communities they represent. Almost every if not all councils in England has adjoining neighbours and will have the same problems. So what was the paragraph set me off in my current quandary 2.1 The Duty to Co-operate 2.1.1 When producing the draft Core Strategy it is not possible to produce it in isolation as there are a number of cross boundary planning issues that need to be taken into account. Areas th

A Busy Few Days

Cherry Allsop Passing The Flame to Eric Bauwens On The Common Earlswood 1st July 2012 09:29 hrs Picture Taken By Carrie Blimey what a busy few days on the blog, I won’t pretend!  It took me totally by surprise and made me realise how important it is to source information when advertising an event or quoting anything. There are all sorts of things that can go wrong, cancellations, changes of dates, locations etc or even having two official sources that differ slightly. On the 30 th June 2012 over a 24 hr period I managed 729 visitors to my blog which is 22% of my total visitors for the whole of June. Of course there was one thing the visitors in June were looking for! Olympic Torch Earlswood I don’t expect for one moment I will ever reach those Dizzy figures again. Not that it is really important to me what viewing figures I achieve are. Its just interesting. Some bloggers will find it amusing that I was somewhat overwhelmed by my 729 Unique visitors in one day and are pr
