Sleeping Beauty

Seen George Willey's review of the panto in the Advertiser!? Must have seen a different performance from the one I went to. He said it ripped along at a merry pace. Seemed to drag on forever to me. Good individual performances but what a tediously long production. I left at the interval, after ninety very slow minutes, with my kid constantly asking if it had finished yet. I gather the whole show was 3 hours long.

Swanage seafront regeneration survey results released

Residents responded to the four themes, and the most favoured options and suggestions were:

* Traffic management – Improve the appearance of the current seasonal closure section of Shore Road. Many other issues were raised about parking along the seafront and safety of pedestrians along Shore Road.
* Environment and Facilities – The most popular suggestions were new outdoor showers, improvement or relocation of toilets and improve the play area.
* Economic Vitality – A covered exhibition/market/community space on Shore Road on the former shelter site was the most popular suggestion.
* Vision – The main message was to keep Swanage as Swanage and keep the green space along Shore Road, it’s a great community asset and unique to Swanage.

Shoreline Management Plan

The link above will take you to a detailed study of the Shoreline Management Plan, which outlines the proposed strategy for dealing with the effects of erosion and climate change on Swanage.

The SMP sets out the policy for managing our coastline and how we respond to the threat of coastal flooding and the risks of erosion.  It is a high level non-statutory policy document that aims to balance those risks with natural processes and the consequences of climate change.  It needs to take account of existing defences and the natural and built environments, and be compatible with adjacent coastal areas.

The Alternative Vote: Meeting at Mowlem, 9th February

Mowlem Theatre, 7pm, Wednesday 9th February

Did you know that we will be voting in a national referendum in just a few months’ time? 
On 5th May, the country will be holding its first referendum since we voted to continue in  the common market in 1975. But what is so important that the nation is having a referendum?
In May we will be voting to change the structure of British politics – an historic moment for democracy in our country.

A public all-party and non-party event will address this on Wednesday 9th February at 7pm in the Mowlem Theatre in Swanage. A panel of speakers from Fair Votes for Dorset, Liberal Democrats, Conservatives, Labour and the Green Party will help us understand the reasons behind the referendum and will explain how the Alternative Vote works. A mock election will be held on the night to show the difference between the present First Past the Post voting system and the proposed Alternative Vote system. There will also be an opportunity to put your questions on the voting systems to the speakers.

Admission to the event is free and it promises to be an interesting and engaging evening.
Don’t miss the opportunity to find out about what we will soon be voting for in May’s referendum!
Contact John Wootton on 01929 421433 for further information.

Free services?

When visiting Wales, we found many of the Car Parks were free. What a lovely welcome for tourists and locals alike. Visitors parked, walked and then had money left to spend in the local shops/pubs and restaurants, instead of being ripped off, by either council parking fees or National Trust.

Also prescriptions and a tuition fees free too. Is Wales any more in a mess financially than we are, how does Wales manage to provide these free services??
