Flo you can pay cheques into most of the main banks at the Post Office. Ironically Nat West is one of the ones you can't (and the Post Office Card Account!) http://www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-banking-services#withdrawals_&_deposits
So the branch is closing in September? Maybe Paddy Power could take it on and book end with Bet Fred.
Well if it does get the go ahead I'm looking forward to the overhanging roof along the side making a handy shelter for illicit smoking, drinking and urinating. That'll be my evenings sorted.
I'd have liked a wider pavement but definitely not at the cost of losing the trees. If the parallel parking was Lawn-side then pedestrians and outdoor cafe users would have traffic passing them shop-side without the barrier of parked cars, which might not be everyone's cup of tea either. As Michael pointed out, the Lawn side path is good to get out of the way of shoppers and when I was down ...
If the Lawn is to be given over to something else (basketball area) how about developing the brook, widening it, landscaping it etc to make it even more of a focal point. Or that miniature boating lake that people have talked about previously. What about a thatched roof for the pavilion, expensive maybe, but marrying a local tradition with an otherwise modern building.
Voting buttons and something like surveymonkey.com would be a good way of soliciting the views of internet users. I like Allems' idea of directional speakers, it must be difficult for those living around the Lawn who can't escape the noise.
I always assumed Carer was male... Let's leave it eh. The point is I was complimenting the event.
That was not a sarcastic comment Carer, I thought the staging was excellent. Do you really need to hijack posts with your petty and ill founded animosity?
Margaret - can you do a mock up of the plan in the library/Co-op/Sainsburys and leaflet/poster other shops too? If only 500 people care to offer an opinion then so be it, per capita that's a pretty healthy response rate by advertising standards.
Yea, you could see the work that went into the staging. Whatever eventually replaces the bandstand could (hopefully/I'm sure) make these events a 'must play' venue for artists etc.
