All I have to say about the THI is excellent work, they all deserve a big thank you, pat on the back and a drink.

[Canny lass]

I think Bedlington's looking great. Can't wait to get there and see it for myself!

Agreed. The Station next, possibly?

[Brian Cross]

[Brett]

Where's the station?

Glad to see that the pharmacy and munchie moo's are planned for renovation according to the stars on the map.

[John Fox (foxy)]

Council Planning Department assured us that after many !*!@# ups building work was to begin mid April on the former Elliots Garage site. Its now July and Guess What.

Brettly, you are doing just fine without it mate, ha ha. Just drive in the opposite direction to that of which the NCC gardeners vans and grass cutters are travelling, you may just find Bedlington Station among the weeds and undergrowth. The Station itself ? long gone, long forgotten and never to be ressurected it seems. (looks like my sarcasm button is working just fine, sunshine)

[John Fox (foxy)]

Now Now Girls!! :icecream:

[Brett]

heh

The Station - a great project for the bench-burners who have "nothing to do".

Some flowers have been planted in the raised beds and hanging baskets put up !!! A half barrel has been placed in front of St. Johns and planted with marigolds. Just a pity they never cut the grass , weeded and re-planted the existing beds first.

An old farmer once told me his take on it a few years ago. " Its all them old bed irons and other junk they're sending into space, playing havoc with the weather ". Who's to say he is wrong ? Edited July 7, 2012 by keith

Keith,

Its not my business but I think you might find your parish council did the beds, hanging baskets etc and its NCC who are responsible for grass cutting......unless you want to see your parish rates start to multiply.... as is the grand scheme at the moment!

To be honest I could not give a monkeys chuff who pays for what,...... the..... grass.....needs.....cutting....... 'cos the place is a bloody mess.

[Keith Scantlebury]

Well at least we agree on something Malcolm.You never know, someone with a bit of nouse might even notice and realise Bedlington continues beyond the Front streets and the Market Place. Just because the Raisbeck has stopped running dosent mean you cant get to the station anymore, it is still there.

Yep and its not as if we don't pay for the service or it used to be a service we paid for in the WDC then the NCC rates.

Seems to me someone has decided to only cut about half a metre in from the roads irrespective of how much grass there is wherever.... 1 pass with the flail mower?

This is the daft thing about having three little councils!

And So Say All Of Us!!!

By the way Keith I'm off on a weeks holiday but by the time I get back do you think you could explain to me what a Monkeys Chuff Is? It sounds quite interesting. :whistle:
