A Travesty

The BJPC now refuses to communicate with the owners of www.burtonjoyceonline.co.uk

Therefore throughout the coming month I will be posting here in the Blog many of the astounding revelations, discovered by "BEE - JAY", re- some of the BJPC's "discreet" activities, which have come to light during his 12 month investigations into the BJ Parish Council's affairs and the unofficial activities and use of their facilities. .

It follows that Bee Jay has always been prepared to discuss and resolve these matters directly with the administration, however their recent decision to add his name to their H V & C policy is a gross travesty of justice of their own creation.

ALL THE B J COMMUNITY REALLY SHOULD BECOME AWARE of the village happenings thro 2009 - this group of words may be used by some to provide meaning to unexplainable actions

A case against Wind Turbines

A realistic alternative

Although we at BJO can and do understand/appreciate our community's concern, particularly with the noise element of a possible installation, it is most important that we all see the Proposed Wind Turbines at Stoke Bardolph against the larger backdrop of the Governements financial incentives for carbon reduction and the renewable energy projects available to the major companies which may just overide their interest in the community's welfare

The main crux of this proposal, most of us will have always assumed, is to reduce our planets dependence on fossil fuels and assist in restricting the deterioration in the planets ozone layer .

There are many more alternatives other than Wind Turbine installations available to a strong Government - there are more significant impacts much nearer home in their own establishments , ie good housekeeping - switching off unnecessary lighting , limiting central heating levels , more use of video conferencing, curtailing all unnecessary travel, expenses and allowances - particularly within the European Parliamentary Administration and Structure. The savings can achieve staggering levels to every member nation, individually and collectively

We should also be aware of the "Hand-outs" available ( via the Government ) to the major companies who "justify" the installation of Wind Turbines and renewable energy installations onshore and offshore here within the UK and the penalties we locals are expected to accept/tolerate in the process -

We should ensure our voices are heard strong and loud at every level of administration, for there are more sensible alternative ways of achieving their goals, other than throwing finance raised thro our taxes at them

A Case FOR Wind Turbines

A response to the opposition to the Proposed Wind Turbines at Stoke Bardolph

The main crux of this subject is to reduce our planets dependence on fossil fuels and assist in restricting/elimination of the deterioration in the planets ozone layer with the excess emission of carbon into the atmosphere. Unfortunately the major affect of these excess emissions is the unfortunate and regrettable acceleration in climate change.

We here in the 3 villages should be acutely aware of the result of climate change and the resulting increased vulnerabilityto excessive rainfall/surface water, particularly here within our location on the River Trent flood plain

We should all remember the not too distant flooding disasters and tragedies of families in Boscastle , Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Hull, Gloucester, Worcester and River Severn areas, with the emotional displacement of hundreds of families into temporary homes, which in some cases has lasted years . We should also remember our own recent experiences here in this village, Stoke Bardolph, Lowdham, Gunthorpe, Lambley and others locally

We should all be aware of the consequence of refusing to individually and collectively take on the responsibility by NOT opposing the proposed, renewable and zero carbon energy installation which can assist our national energy generation problem. We in BJ/B/SB can set an example to all , by accepting change rather than resisting the proposal to install inshore Wind Turbines in our area. Let us in these 3 villages “grasp the nettle” setting an example to everyone, everywhere, that we the local community can and do care for the welfare of future generations and our planet

BJ Flood Defences

Thanks are due to the Residents Association

We see that BJRA has been working on serious issues for the village, working on ensuring that new funds would be allocated for the flood embankment and keeping everyone informed everyone informed while the parish council is fiddling around ie..

"We are very pleased to be able to report that the Regional Flood Defence Committee has now allocated £490,000 for the Burton Joyce Flood Embankment and the Environment Agency aims to commence construction in Spring 2010.- "

The Community at large will no doubt be pleased and appreciative of the BJRA working on serious issues for the village, working on ensuring that new funds would be allocated for the flood embankment and keeping everyone informed everyone informed, while the BJ Parish Council appear to be fiddling around.

Fiddling around and revisiting issues already investigated , reported on, discussed and approved by the full BJ Parish Council some 12 monthst ago - i e the Grove remodelling.

The original "Grove report" and application proved successful in obtaining the £15,000 granted

Why is there a need to "tinker" ? - "If it aint broke - Dont fix it"
