Re:WIND TURBINES in Stoke Bardolph - 12 Minutes ago Karma: 4
I find it relevant to bring to everyones notice the stance of the churches of the three villages when they joined together to celebrate " One World Week" -" Climate change means the frequency of disasters will increase"
Also the stance taken by many underdeveloped countries that the" Developed world does not care about how the world is being polluted "The Launch of the Climate Justice Fund - support the poor by counting your carbon says the C of E - "Instead of waiting for Governments to come up with an international agreement we can take the power into our own hands and start making a difference"
This should be more that just a thought

Forum (beta) posting
Parish Council Thread (Forum beta) -Comment re our mother site posting by "Deepthroat"
"I have followed this site from early this year and I have become an avid reader. I have always been interested and admired everyday folk questioning and seeking justification from legislations local, regional and nationally - this site follows that great tradition. Even so this is my first contribution to this Forum.
There are at three topics on this site ( within this Forum) which have really stimulated the interest of the readers .
“Why do Councillors keep leaving?” “Low usage high Cost of Poplars” and latterly “Parish Council”
They three topics have attracted over 1146, 1439 and 518 visitors respectively - together with 32, 35, and 15 associated posting (includes both the original forum and this improved “beta forum” ).
This surely confirms the significance and importance of these subjects to the Onliners within the community
For many years now I have had more than a passing interest in the activities of our local Parish Council and have become disturbed by the lack of accountability of it as a body and the attitude of several successive, individual Councillors. The PC’s lack of transparency and the “blurred” association of several and successive individual Councillors with additional local activities, creates some concern and suspicion within the community. Over many years there have been questions asked within the PC and justification requested for certain situations - too many remain unanswered, with delayed or deflective replies However it is most concerning when the integrity and accuracy of the PC and one Committees official minutes (relating to the posting content of this site ) are legitimately questioned, without the courtesy of a direct and adequate justification for the inclusion of the specific statements contained within Council & Committee minutes.
After all, I understand that if there are inaccuracies in this particular community website‘s postings, then early and due remedial postings of recants and apologises are always assured and promised as a standard practice
This appears fair to me, evidently not to the PC "

"Burt -n- Joyce" Twitter Column
06/10/09 - Weather today is rain and cloud skies
06/10/09 - Weather today is rain and cloud skies
“ Burt! I see Newark and District Council are well into the completion of the new cyclist way/track from Bulcote to Lowdham “ -
“ Yes Joyce! - It looks very good, though I can’t see where the number of cyclist using it will come from. However, I suppose it could double up and be used for Sunday morning individual cyclist speed trials” - “ Humm yes! Burt, it could even be used during weekdays for walking exercise , jogging , pleasure cycling and how about even Infants Buggy races for “bored” parents and over the 60‘s ” - “Good idea Joyce we could even organise inter village contests with Bulcote and Lowdham. It could help in a coming together of the communities"
05-10-09
"Weather today is well overcast today Joyce" Yes Burt, but it should be OK for your run a little later, dont you think " "Humm - I guess so Joyce"
" I see they have arranged the gathering at the cenotaph on Rememberance day at 11:00 this year Joyce" " Thats good news Burt , last year was a real disappointment for us all who turned up at the cenotaph in the rain-n-drizzle - , at the 11 hour, of the 11th day, of the 11 month" " Humm - I guess so Joyce"
" I see that houses appear to be selling once again Burt" " Yes but the sales prices appear to be rediculously low now - I'm glad we've got each other Joyce, and our own house - I would not want to sell it and move into one of those Homes for the Elderly - want to stay in our own home what ever" "Yes I agree Burt - care in the home is what we want - if and when we need it." "Huum - I guess so Joyce "

UFO's Spotted over Nottingham 12/09/09
UFO Spotted over Nottm 12/09/09
REALLY - This is true and substantiated by Cllr Allen Clarke our local County Councillor. -
12/09/09 My wife and I saw 6 x "UFO's" in the sky over Ruddington and south Nottingham late last night at 22.16< 22.18. These sightings were at a height and speed similar to that of aircraft approaching EMA. ( As we live directly opposite the incoming flight path from the South and at our homes height and view point from our huge lounge window we inevitably have a regular evening interest of watching incoming aircraft and diversions into EMA - somwhat an irresistable hobby ;-). However the main difference last night was our sightings of "UFO's" did NOT not have flashing navigation lights at their wing tips etc., NO their singular light was much larger and significant and constantly ( as opposed to intermittant flashing as those on conventional aircraft) they lit, singularly, reddy orange in colour. These "UFO's" appeared to fly in precise unison in 2 pairs ( maybe 0.5 miles apart ) with the second pair estimated 1 mile behind and a further single object a further 1 mile behind these. They all moved in unison at the same apparently leisurely floating speed. The amazing thing, then was after a miute or so the lights in the leading pair gradually dimmed ( almost as if the object turned oppositely away from our view point. The following pair of lights and the singleton bringing up the rear also gradually dimmed at the same place in the sky and eventually disappeared when they reach the same spot. The whole scene was like an aerial ballet. Some 2 minutes later the sixth single UFO. appeared and repeated the sequence. The night was very clear without cloud no chance of a mis sighting - a regular passenger plane passed overhead BJ at the same time and within another minute or so, a further conventional passenger flight came into view from the south on the normally expected flight path into EMA

To whom it may concern
-
-Just a thought to bear in mind
-
Particularly with the advent of 3 new co-opted BJ Parish Councillors
-
It has been suggested that..
-
"There appears much "lemming" like behaviour at many of the BJPC Council meetings... ..
Councillors should be constantly aware that any actions taken in the name of the Council are the responsibility of them all ( even if individual Councillors are not at the meeting) and they can be sued/surcharged for illegal or irresponsible activities... ..
*This does not include the Clerk because it is understood the Clerk acts under the instruction of the Council"
