My Whitchurch : Assembly Elections 2011

Mon, 2 May 2011 22:42:25 +0000

I'll keep an eye on it but having a quick look at the back end system the missing comments are either pingbacks (links from other sites) or messages marked as spam by the system, which when they are done so I am alerted and either approve or deny them. As to my political views well they are just that. MY political views. I don't claim anyone is right or wrong. Nor do I feel the need to justify them. I simply call it as I see it based on my own experiences and judgment and if they differ to others then great. I fail to see how this article can compared to a tory leaflet. If it was I'd be telling you what an awful job labour have done with certain things. That back and forth arguements between political parties really annoys me. I'd much rather a party that didn't even respond or care about other parties and just got on with their job. I've just watched the leaders debate on the BBC and it was only briefly mentioned that the key to a recession is not how we get out of it but how do we prevent it in the first place. Parties are quick to assign blame but none of them really take responsibility for much. Personally, I am all for making voting compulsory and I somewhat support the 'none of the above' idea. It doesn't provide a solution but would at least give an accurate view of what the public think. How we'd move forward from that, I'm not sure but htankfully it's not my job to find these solutions :)

What earlier comments? None have been removed. I'm just giving my view on things and I appreciate your views also.

yourCardiff : Indoor surfing centre could be coming to Cardiff

a bit novelty isnt it? I cant see many people paying £30 an hour to "have a go" but maybe if it works in Bedford then it can work in Cardiff. I just hope CCC dont balls it up like they usually do. Or is this just another "cardiff snowdome" sort of idea that never materialises?

My Whitchurch : Royal Wedding Party

Fri, 22 Apr 2011 10:16:39 +0000

Posters are going up in the village right now. It's 12-4 and it's free for everyone. You don't have to be a royal family supporter. This is more about bringing the community together and having a good family day out.

maybe we could act out our own wedding at the same time as the royal wedding :)

My Whitchurch : Whitchurch Car Parks

Mon, 28 Feb 2011 13:03:12 +0000

Hi Nicola, I would advise two things. If you have not already, report it to the police via 101 and get a crime reference number. Ask the police also about the CCTV. Second, report it to the council as it is council owned CCTV. I would recommend doing this through one of the local councillors or if you can, there is a PACT Meeting tomorrow night at 7pm in the community centre where local police and councillors will be in attendance :)

and the council officers consider that a job well done. It's pretty insulting really.

Thankyou Sue and please pass my thanks on to William also. I'm glad I put a tie on now!

My Whitchurch : New sweet shop opens in the village

The stink bombs were causing a bit of a stink in the school, worse than I remember the boys toilets smelling and that was pretty bad! The stink bombs wont be sold anymore.

My Whitchurch : Whitchurch, Tongwynlais and Llandaff North PACT report

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 14:47:13 +0000

Thanks Chris. Next PACT is Sept 14th 7pm at the new community centre if you'd like to come. I'm guessing the trouble has been on the plas treoda side of the common? I know some of the kids that hang out on the common but there are always different groups/ages there.

My Whitchurch : 100 year old trees face the chop

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 12:59:35 +0000

Nobody is slating them for what they are doing. I just think doing it would be safer to do this before or after the summer holidays. I witnessed a group of kids (under 12) playing with a sawn off branch and it hit one of them quite hard in the face by accident.

My Whitchurch : Peacocks blaze

Thanks James, good to know nobody was hurt. I'm not sure I'd want to be on my motorbike when the fuel tank exploded!

My Whitchurch : Graffiti Gremlin faces the law

Wed, 4 Aug 2010 10:58:24 +0000

Ask him if he'd be willing to sit down and have an interview with me. I'm not looking to grill him with questions but more for the public can see things from his point of view. It might open their eyes a bit.

My Whitchurch : What's wrong with Whitchurch?

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:58:34 +0000

Thanks Pat, I don't deny it's a great place, I think I wrote that in the article and to answer your question, it's because it only takes a few bad things to ruin something that is great. I'd like to stop that from happening.

I believe Ben Anon is suggesting that having been court and now faced the court that the lad has had to pay for a solicitor and solicitors charge through their noses. However I would think the 3k he stole was long gone before he got caught.

My Whitchurch : Welshbockers secure community funding

Sun, 11 Jul 2010 11:05:57 +0000

Thanks Pete, I actually totally forgot to mention our funding at the festival. Oops! I had a lot to remember though. Was a great a day, we love doing the Whitchurch Festival.
