Found a lovely picnic table.
Somewhere to dangle your feet in cool water on a hot summer's day while enjoying bread cheese and a glass of wine.
The perfect end to the long tramp of the Cumbria Way.

Ford Park - Yes isn't it great!
I had a word with Jackie the other day and congratulated her and her team.( To be politically correct this should be the management with her just as part of the team - but we all know the reality!)
Just received:
(too good to be missed!)
"I believe the picnic table should be arrested, breathalysed and drug tested.
We do not want the likes of this picnic table available to the public or anywhere near the local community else I fear for the future and stability of our town.
I do expect the guilty table to be given 24hr police surveillance.
Rumour has it the guilty table has touched old ladies bottoms a possible a case to include it on The Sex Register.
It is obviously guilty.

What's happened to piggy?
Has he also been infected by the errant table?
Received today:
I have been made aware that one of your picnic tables is now in mid stream of The Gill. I also note that you draw attention to it on your blog.
This is getting beyond a joke. It needs removing immediately before it becomes an issue with the Environment Agency/Rivers Authority.

Any offers of a solution to the above?
Have you thought of talking "With" the Table rather than "To" The Table.
Have you asked the table how she "Feels"
Maybe she does not want to be a table maybe she wants to be a concert pianist.
Maybe she wants a weighty legal document signed upon her!.
I suggest you have a good chat with her and if she will not move I will talk with Denis Skinner and suggest a Private Members Bill to Facilitate her removal.

Reply to David Parratt, Town Clerk:
David Parratt,
We are aware of the problem - which is obvious - furthermore we are already dealing with the matter in a responsible manner by seeking help from several sources.
We find it regrettable that you wish to pin the blame for irresponsible behaviour of hooligans on our organisation which is doing much to improve the environment of the town:
1. Improving Mill Dam Park - including much appreciated picnic tables -in conjunction with Ulverston in Bloom
2. Providing an attractive location at Gill Banks community pottery and planters at Gill Banks. This as you will know is attracting national interest as a community project both by a researcher at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, a group based near Newcastle on Tyne and a school in London, through an article in the prestigious Ceramic Review in January this year.
3. Tackling the spread of invasive species of vegetation such as Himalayan Balsam which we aim to eliminate at Gill Banks with a program of regular weekly work on every Friday morning which started two months ago following an initial attempt late last year that only reduced the problem. In the course of this work we have removed many hundreds of plants so that no plant has so far flowered in this location this year.
We would have thought the Town Lands Trust would want to support the work of the BUGs see http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-BUGs-of-Ulverston/248606808490145
It is gratifying that there is at least one councillor - Jack Rice - who is enthusiastic about our work

This act of vandalism was committed at the same time all the hanging baskets flowers were trashed in market street .
Police are consulting cameras I have been informed .
Can the council not assist?
This would show unity against these senseless acts.
Ulverston unite against louts!
