Who's had babies then

Haven't we seen Mom before?

Yes, that was in December.

Quick worker!

Is this acceptable?

We are pleased to welcome new management of a pub in the town. They seem to be making a go of it and I've received several good reports about it. Some of my friends use it regularly.

However they have chosen to park their commercial rubbish bin on the pavement at a place that is generally regarded as dangerous for pedestrians because the road is so narrow and there is considerable traffic..

The previous owners of the pub parked their bin in a recess on their own land without blocking the public footpath though I suspect this wouldn't have been popular with the fire service as it blocked an exit.

The present owners say they will have difficulty finding an alternative but surely that is their problem.

Yesterday when I found this bin crammed full to overflowing, I called in to talk to Sarah the manager - I talked to her previously by phone. I got the message that she was there but too busy to see me.

I agreed not to kick up a stink about this issue until the New Year but the present reaction is not promising.

What do people think?

Should we make a fuss about this?

If not - where do we draw the line of businesses encroaching on our safety and the appearance of the town?

Since posting the above, the bin has been full to overflowing several times; this suggests that they may be needing two large red bins soon. I gather they are picked up daily by Wicks who promise 100% recycling which is good.

An abomination is dumped on Ulverston

What clown imagined that when you came round this corner




in a traditional lake district town with Kirby Slate everywhere in the town, you would meet these monstrosities from China?






This smacks very much of a financial scam.

Who has ended up with money in their back pocket ?

Del Boy comes to Ulverston!

" Fancy some beautiful marble paving stones ( that fell off the back of a Lorry straight from Ying Tong Ying Tong Idli Po) "

"Suits you sir . Yes Suits you sir."

"A perfect match. Just what 'Up and Coming' Ulverston needs. Just like the County Square"

I conducted a poll and got a 100% result from one lady -

"Aren't they awful ! "

So what happens next. . . .

Someone's head needs to roll (?)

James Airey - the new guy in the hot County Council seat - what are you up to?

The issue of a consistent design policy for Ulverston was raised with him, months ago.

Nothing will happen unless Ulverstonians speak up.

So start with your comment here.

Do nothing and in the long term, the town is doomed.

Just see what inaction has done to South Ulverston.
