I've noticed that the glass is regularly broken in the bus shelter by James Day Home in Ulwell Road. It's such a shame and such a waste.
Also there are disabled and elderly people in wheelchairs and buggies who have to leave the pavement and go out into the road to avoid the broken glass. I feel sorry for them because it's very dangerous there to go out into the road.
I wonder why anybody would want to break the glass in the bus shelter? Perhaps they will read this and stop doing it now, knowing that they are making life difficult for the elderly and disabled people who have to go into the road with the traffic.
Blues & Roots Weekend
Following the success of the 7th Swanage Blues Festival (next one 7-9 March 2008), I am considering the possibility of a Blues & Roots Weekend in Swanage sometime in September, October or November.
The timing is crucial, so let me have your thoughts please.

ACCESSIBLE SWANAGE
Dorset County Council Highways Dept is looking at improving two drop kerbs in Swanage: by Alfie's Restaurant, Institute Road, and by the Angling Centre, High Street.
They are also planning four walks to inspect the necessity for drop kerbs
(1) from the Railway Station along Kings Road West to Court Hill
(2) from Arkwright's along the High Street and along Priests Road
(3) from Priests Road along the High Street to Victoria Avenue
(4) from Victoria Avenue along Northbrook Road, (with consideration for access to Beach Gardens recreation area)
You can follow my campaign to make Swanage more accessible for people who rely on wheels - those who use mobility scooters, wheelchairs and baby buggies - via the link to 'Accessible Swanage' on my website www.stevedarrington.com

Many discussions on this Weblog end up discussing the rights of LOCALS.
As someone who can trace and document his familiy back through 500 years, locally, why don't I start a thread on what is a local?
I'm enough of a reactionary to stick to The Isle of Purbeck. Wareham is not in Purbeck.
DEFINITION.
A local is someone who has lived for some time in or around Swanage.
Any comments?
What's up this time at the Vista caravan park? I hear the Police have been hovering around. Anyone know?
VERNAL LANTERN FISH
How many people, I wonder, will be out this evening watching for spawning vernal lantern fish after listening to Radio 4's Living World from Swanage Bay at 6.35am this morning? These glowing fish 'reputedly' spawn only once a year on April 1st. It was fun lying on bed listening to the tide wash over Peveril Point; was Tourist Information informed? colluded?
Theres a rumor in town tonight that 10ish Swanage kids went over to Studland to see 2? friends and trashed 10 beach huts.
Anyone else heard anything?
