If you want to watch the lantern parade it will be leaving Morrisons car park at 4pm - walking up past the library and doctors then up to big roundabout at Wetherspoons then turning left down Front Street down to Market Square. Big Bedlington Terrier and 50 lanterns. If you want to join in and carry a lantern be at Morrisons at 3.45

Parade starts about 3.30pm-4.00pm, entertainment after that. Switch on was going to be 7.00pm and I think it still is.........

Think you should Keefy, you might get a pleasant surprise!

Neil, I'm interested in your point, was that the full Town Council meeting where we had planners in attendance or a NCC planning meeting?

The status quo would still be maintained Maggie, either way..... That's why its important to use things like those surveys we have just sent aorund, at least you get some input!

Well done Eggy!

Looks like a nar-do-well to me........... good job the coppers are about I say!

Yes i did Foxy

As has North Ridge and Ridge Terrace!

This off their website GGGG The switch-on will now take place on MONDAY 9TH DECEMBER, from 4:30pm - 7:30pm. Please spread the word!

Just heard Lights Switch On postponed until Monday!

Chris, When the planning inspectorate made their ruling they granted the developer their first application. Obviously in the first application you put in everything you might want and then negotiate down to what the local planners will allow. Due to what looked to be incompetence the local planners lost hands down! Its probably only halfway through its term at present.

School site went to planning appeal and basically developer wiped the floor with our planners! Because of time delay he got the old 5 years permission not the current 3. Tesco was supposed to build there and have 5-6 new shops with offices above on the front. These to be starter units for sme development. Problem I am trying to publicise is that if we gave Tesco the Gap site and car park in exchange for an interest in these new shops and offices and they don't get built have we just given away the most strategic development sites in the middle of the Town for nothing?

I have had Saunier Duvals' which needed re-pressurising all the time! The Potterton I have now is better but I have changed radiators and had a leak so have had to re-pressurise the system once or twice.

Vote counter gets turned off tonight I think Maggie.
