We will remember them.

Hi CL, yes had a good Thanks giving but a quiet one. Our trip went very well, the family enjoyed the visit but alas too short to fit everything in, it does leave something to go back for! Hopefully they will get to take their children and grande children back and be able to show them their roots. We found their old homes, Friends, schools, shops and beaches and had a family reunion, even popped into the Red Lion a few times to see if any of our forum friends were there. I thought the town was looking very nice, I had expected dome and gloom but quite the opposite , clean and tidy, Church and cemetery was looking very nice the entrance upgrade, buildings and roadways, we kept looking for more Bedlington Terrier type seats! (a few in the cemetery would be nice!) The flower displays were still blooming and looking very nice, credit to those looking after them.

Wishing everyone a very happy thanksgiving. W

Happy birthday Andy.

Yes it would have been nice but as you say maybe another time, we are getting around lots and meeting many of our old friends and relatives, old haunts, schools, dwellings, love the ocean and beaches etc

Hello all, just enjoying out visit to our old home and haunts, all my “children” with me, still the nice town it was.

In my opinion "Best value" is not giving in too what most believe to be justice! Best value would be seeing obvious justice. regardless of the cost.

Good meeting, err hmm err but it em err is err a bit draw out with err hmm err to much er poor speaking! it could have been over in an hour! "Affordable" homes definition was again brought up.

Good meeting, but I enjoyed the first half of the meeting better. What incident was the second half report about? and what was the connection to the care home and the lack of communications. It appears to be storm related!

Ah! I wish I had watched this one first, a much better understanding of the issues. As Councillor Wearmouth mentions checks and balances I still don't understand what extra checks and balances have been put in place that every large organization always have! and who wasn't following them. I do like the recycling initiatives that are being put in place. But make it simple or it won't happen.

Very interesting! I would hope some realistic time frames be attached to the recommendations, and more open accountability of those in the top positions.

I still have some of that asbestos!

Happy Anzac Day , Lest we forget. (ANZAC cookies by CL)

I didn't know of it but thought I had read about here a few years ago.

And thank you from me, it's been a very interesting and testing time for most people but your quiz has been a great distraction from covid, and a great learning experience ! I thought I was past that! I hope you have a great summer and enjoy catching up with your friends and family. Thank you.

Towns will look like they did 200 years ago when the railways opened up the country, there were only essential shops and businesses, but will have to add traffic! I had too Google Ann Summers!

Delinquent owners, rental properties etc, Our bylaws allow the Council to bring in a contractor to clean up a property, be it for unkept gardens, from weeds's etc to wrecked or abandoned cars and put the bill on the property taxes. The front street could be kept looking good even if only on the outside. I wouldn't regulate the use of the buildings but definitely the looks.

100% Canny lass, shopping has evolved, online and box stores have the numbers, $, and convenience, "Front streets" need to adapt to local needs or be outlets for the larger businesses. Anything social should be encouraged such as drop in centres, cafe's, fitness centres, youth centres, garden centres anything that encourages people to get out and mix. Local authorities need to adapt to the new life styles and figure out how to make the changes to the old disused buildings. They need the ability to make unsightly buildings meet standards or loose them. I'm sure present laws are outdated and restrictive (take the politics out) I'm sure Malcolm has great visions for the front street! We have all enjoyed the days of local personal service while shopping but sadly times have changed, I'm sure the youth of today love the new way! (I like much of it especially the technology)
