Shore Road was infested with a plague of flying insects today (Saturday 18 February). Anybody know what they were and whether the new sand had anything to do with it?

any news yet on when any catering facility will be functioning at the swimming pool in Swanage Bay View Holiday Park ? On recent visits to the pool the restaurant/bar has been closed; the snack vending machine empty and no option to get a hot drink anywhere. Come on,someone; this pool is supposed to be an attraction!

With the recent TV programme on the Home Guard. It would be interesting to see how many Swanage men are still around that served in those far off days? OR even in the LDV. The Local defence Volunteers. LDV at the time stood for "Look, Duck, and Vanish"

I saw in the local paper that the speed camera gang are going to be doing the rounds in Purbeck, it seems they have started over Stoborough yesterday (Sunday 19th March) as there was a van pointing a laser camera at all the cars !
I always thought it was illegal to point lasers at cars!

I note the notice in the Advertiser, and on the premises, namely, One Quay House, 10 High Street, Swanage, for an application for yet another ‘sale of alcohol license’ both on and off the premises. Examination of the said premises they look too small to have a restaurant license, so they want to sell alcohol for STREET consumption up until midnight 7 days a week!

The 250 yards from Seymer Road along the Lower High Street already has at least a dozen licensed premises and is the seat of 95% of all anti social behaviour in Swanage.

With publicans acting responsibly to control under age or excessive consumption of alcohol the only purpose of such a licence must be to save the under-age drinkers nicking their fuel from their parents stock and having to carry it all the way to the Lower High Street.

In conclusion I note that the applicant who live as far away from the Lower High Street as is possible whilst still being in Swanage so why don’t they apply for a license in their part of town ?

Perhaps all local councillors should be required to live in the area for at least 10 years before the can stand, then perhaps LOCAL issues will be dealt with, rather than semi retired people coming here with their outsider views, after all Swanage coped very well 30 + years ago.

I think it would be nice to be able to talk about the history of Swanage, (Recent and older)and the people here.

For the local folk have had a lot of fun amongst theirselves. There are I know, lots of interesting people here. With some interesting tales to tell.

I feel that we need a place to remind us, and to recall some of the characters that walked our streets and slipped away.
Cheers.
