New Festival?
Thanks to everybody who's asked about the new Local Food and World Music Festival proposed for June 2009, and the new website Swanage Life that will be supporting it.
Plans for both festival and website are temporarily on hold while I raise funds for the existing blues festivals in March and October.
Since each existing blues festival brings £136,000 extra business into town - twice a year and out-of-season - I feel I should work on the survival of these festivals at the moment, rather than embark on new projects.
Wat a novel idea.
Use a closed school as a school!

Hey Mike
what's this about the Audit Commission - some may say finally - threatening legal action against jolly old STC?
I understand there was a special, or is it extrordinary, meeting?
Are you sworn to secrecy?

Planners all on holiday?
What is going on at PDC planning office? You are not able to discuss an application with a planning officer until October (because they say they have a backlog). Well I would observe there appear far less applications being made this summer than usual. Planning applications which are supposed to be over in 8 weeks are taking 16 weeks. Some planning applications online details on the PDC website have not been updated since May.
