Er...it wasn't me that brought up the fact that we've had yet another calendar produced this year, at some considerable cost to the people of the borough.

It was Gayle.

;)

As for other news stories, l'm also busily posting on wevehousedanotherterrorist.com, but will continue posting about local issues on this local forum.

;)

Re: Area Management Calendars 2010
 

So national issues do not effected local people, or is it only when there a Tory government;)

Re: Area Management Calendars 2010
 

As pointed out earlier today, I've been scathing of this government on this very forum umpteen times, but sadly because some people wear blinkers, they don't see those attacks.

I'm quite happy to discuss national issues on here, when they have some effect locally, but besides not being able to again take a cigarette lighter in my hand luggage when I next go away, some Nigerian who was once a student in London, and has set his thighs on fire as he landed in Detroit, I prefer to debate those issues on other forums.

The last time there was a Tory government there wasn't an Accy Web.

Re: Area Management Calendars 2010
 

well theres only 3 days left of this year .. then you'll be able to put up your new one from wongs .... :D:D:D

Re: Area Management Calendars 2010
 

then start a thread on it,is the way to find out. though would add, think local things cause more interest on any local forum?:confused:

Re: Area Management Calendars 2010
 

Excuse me, stop trying to get in on my action.

If anyone wants a calendar, the Friends of Rhyddings Park are selling their 2010 calendar for a mere £2. All proceeds are going into the group to help us fund our activities.

If anyone wants one just PM me and we will sort it out.

What was done that was not democratic?

[quote=BERNADETTE;772801]Neither can I especially given the fact that we had an aborted terrorist attack in the US and the suspect is thought to have been a UK resident. Would have thought national security would have been more of a talking point than a poxy calendar.:rolleyes:[/quote

Compared to something like terrorism, the calendar pales into insignificance as you rightly say Bernie.

The issue with the calendar is straight forward as well Bernie. Are ratepayers in this Borough happy that a part of their rates is being spent on calendars.

If they are fine. My own view is that the money spent on calendars could be better spent on other things that need doing in the Borough.

Re: Area Management Calendars 2010
 

my own view is trivilising the calendar issue, is just the same as trivilising the waste of public money.

Re: Area Management Calendars 2010
 

As said before this thread is about calendars, if you want to talk about terrorism start a thread.

As for as the residents being happy that is simple - wait for the results in May. If the Tories get kicked out the residents were not happy with them.

So what would you have spent the couple of grand on then?

Re: Area Management Calendars 2010
 

Probably would have added up to more than two thousand for the calendar, for all of the Borough .

In Ossy £500 was the figure mentioned,but that doesn't include the cost of delivering and also officer time. So I think it's on the low side.

What would I have spent it on Neil. I've no wish to be provocative, but it could have helped with the gritting over the last couple of weeks. I know it's the counties responsibility.

I've also been trying to get a few quid to spend on the canals, particular the footpaths. It's an attempt to try encourage people to make more use of the canals.

I'm sure you Neil can think of a few things to spend the money on up Ossy. There's usually no shortage of ideas when it comes to spending money.

Re: Area Management Calendars 2010
 

Making good a few of the appallingly dangerous pavements we have in the borough?

The ones which could be possible death traps to those with poor eye sight, or those a little unsteady on their feet.

I'm sure the money wasted on these calendars would be easily gobbled up in Church Street alone.

Perhaps the shocking state of our town centre pavements aren't apparent to those in high places, as they are ferried between the Town Hall and Scaitcliffe House, in a Sedan chair.
