I watched a very interesting documentry recently about shops either making charges or having a minimum purchase amount for payment by card. The charge for a debit card is on average 2p charges for credit cards can be 3% of purchase price there is legislation in the pipeline to stop the practice of surcharges and minumum purchase amount for debit cards as far as i am concerned my debit card is as ...
It strikes me that if you are buying a new house you will already be in work so these houses may be sold to families from other areas. My second thought is 750 new families may spend some money in town and a few extra customers can make a difference to a trader on hard times. There will be problems as already mentioned but a expanding town could be a good thing it may be that improvements will ...
When the Police Traffic Wardens where being made redundant there was talk of all of that area being changed to residents parking it was to include all the streets of Park Road and Old Town Street maybe this is the start of residents parking

Many thanks Smokey for reminding me we have to stop this mad plan that will destroy the town centre.

When the Police used to cone for the carnival and air show cones where placed in heaps and then placed as vehicles moved and a list of parked vehicles there reg was compiled. I presume that the new enforcement officers have to abide by the same rules are they aware of the correct procedure ?? They will have to prove that any vehicle booked was not there when the cones where placed
