This is what the town has come to. The attack at the docs surgery has left a few older patients a bit miffed that they have to try and get to Accy for treatment. As the note said that was put up there has to be some assurences that it wont happen again as they risked the peoples lives of the neibourghing properties.

Re: In Friday's Observer (28 October)

I know four of the 'dribbling' footballers pictured with the page three stunner, a rather strange phrase, drooling might have been a bit more appropriate.;)

Vitty's atricle on Broadway was good, and brought to our attention the fact that it's running late, and has already been damaged.

What with Gayle's reply to the pit bull letter, as well as the photograph of Neil, Romps, baby Emily, and Peter Brticliffe all smiling holding a big cardboard key at Rhyddings Park gates, it was a really good issue.

Yes it is good but so is the article on page 3 "New blunder on Broadway" HBC's officers are now looking for a security van with flag breaking wheels, if they don't find it the taxpayer will have to foot the bill for repairs. Not that HBC officers are checking the contractors work to ensure the flags have been laid as per the specification and bedded down correctly :eek:

I'd almost hoped that picture had got lost :D
If you ever do call in for a brew I will show you the "Key To Rhyddings Park". What makes you think it is cardboard?

Thanks for the positive feedback. Hopefully the council will consider themselves scrutinised over the Broadway issue.

Anything else you would like me to bring up?

Re: In Friday's Observer (28 October)

There is an article in tomorrow's Observer about the recycling plant plan and the road access.

And there's another one going in next week (I think).

Yes and guarantees that he'll be in the paper every week for the next three months - that's a good boost to his election campaign.

Don't worry, if PB's seen in the Rose and Crown having a sly fag, I'll be there to catch him with my camera, and put an end to his stunt.

Gayle

28-10-2005 07:48

Re: In Friday's Observer (28 October)

That's it, I obviously need a stunt that can get me in the paper every week........... or alternatively, I can just fight the campaign on policies and get out and talk to people face to face.

Re: In Friday's Observer (28 October)

What part of Oswaldtwistle is covered by St Andrew's ward? I've just been on HBC's site and there isn't a detailed map.

Gayle

28-10-2005 08:54

Re: In Friday's Observer (28 October)

Roughly - It stretches all along Union road, but only on one side - the nature reserve side - then on the other side it goes from the railway station to stonebridge lane and up to the park - it stops at the terraced houses on Fielding Lane.

So it's kind of a big circle area from the railway station with a long thin arm attached to it which goes along the bottom part of Union Rd, including the houses behind Union Rd on that side.

Hope that makes sort of sense.

You could perhaps get a weekly report printed along the lines of I'm starting smoking campaign.

At great sacrifice to yourself so that you know what it is like for the people that are caught by the addiction to nicotine rather than abandon them in their hour of need (as a certain councillor has done), you are endevoring to understand how smoking effects the wants of all smokers of Hyndburn not just within the area of the ward that you will be successfully fighting!

Yes, I've spoken to Mervyn about it and it'll probably be in next week - they were short of space this week.

Loved your letter Gayle. You tell 'em how it is not how they think it is.
My little'un is also in this weeks observor dressed as a roman. He was chosen because he is the most enthusiastic learner on the subject. Just for once they are learning something he doesn't find boring

Re: In Friday's Observer (28 October)

I am working through the online version and I am liking what they have this week especially the story of the doctor being forced from his surgery. Love the speed camera article as if they are so expensive to run why have them in the first place. Speed bumps and traffic calming would be easier.

Re: In Friday's Observer (28 October)

I agree with you Bazf I have to use the online version so maybe a kind AccyWeb member could scan them into there pc and mail/post them for those of us who cannot get the paper.:)

29-10-2005 15:38

Re: In Friday's Observer (28 October)

Just to clarify a few things:

The paper now has twice as many reporters as it did two weeks ago, so we're producing more and so there's less space to put things in.

No doubt, we'll try to get the Players review in next week.

Also, if anyone does happen to get a snap of the council leader having a fag, I'd be glad to receive it :)

I spoke to him yesterday and he said he so far hasn't succumbed, though one particular issue is making him want to :)

Pleeeeeeeease not speed bumps and traffic calming raising it's ugly head once more! Introduced to this area by a non-driving idiot, speed bumps cause cars to suffer from far greater wear and tear which is dangerous for all, and as for traffic calming, the sound peoples brakes have to make when an idiot forces his way through these death traps, CALMING?, more like the traffic is having a nervous break down! I would rather fork out extra for the useless cameras.

I see that sugestion is a crow in the throught Less. If done poperly it works as out side the two schools up here it only becomes dangerous due to idiots. Mind you they did refrain from the speed bumps though and the accidents and near misses our down.
