Many residents near Prestwick Rd / Marham Drive would like to hold a table top sale on the green area between them.

As this area is used mostly by dog walkers and a few children on their bikes, we wouldn’t disturb road users, but we would like to know who to contact and whether premmission could be gained?

I know many would say go to a car boot sale, but many residents do not drive. But it would be a great idea to recycle items that may benefit others, and between us we would clean up the area if we were allowed to hold one.

Today (03-08-2010) I found, cowering in the bushes by Mount Pleasant, a small fluffy white dog - possibly a Terrier.
It has a brown/black collar on and was in a really bad way.
It has some teeth missing and was very dirty and hungry.
I’ve taken it to my own vets Wood Veterinary Group on Bristol Road and they have scanned it for a chip; there is none.
They are going to hold on to the dog until the RSPCA decide what to do.
If you have lost a puppy please let me know.

On Saturday afternoon, a lady from the one of the flats in Leeming Walk pleaded with my wife to take a kitten off her because she isn’t allowed to have animals in her flat.
The kitten had been found abandoned in the Leeming Walk area.
The kitten is mainly black and too young (6-7 weeks) to have left its mother.

We took the kitten to the Animal Hospital on the Bristol Road; they will keep it there for a week before trying to re-home it.

Hi all,

I have lived in the village for the past year.

I signed up with Sky for Broadband, but for the whole year, it has been pretty much terrible (120kbps download speed). I’m now at the end of the contract. I live on Northwood Drive (Persimmon Phase 2), and don’t seem to be able to get the ‘big’ packages offered by the likes of O2, Sky or Virgin, etc, using their postcode finders.

Can anyone advise me of a reliable, relatively fast broadband provider that I could sign up with please?

Cheers,

Dave

I have an independent gas transporter and can’t have a pre paid-meter fitted!

When I moved into my new home 4 weeks ago, British Gas supplied my gas and electric. I stayed with them, as they would fit pre-paid meters in.

Now I’ve been told they are unable to touch the Gas Meter as it an Independent gas transporter!

How do I get round this?

I like to know how much I put in the meter and how low it gets, and I bet there are many tenants who would like to go with this method of payment, due to the current finanicial climate.

I don’t want to go on a direct debit methods, as I don’t use Gas in the summer months, and I don’t want a large bill arriving either.

What happens if you can’t pay your bills?

Most energy suppliers say they will fit pre-paid meters if you go with them, but don’t mention at the time that – for some meters, they are unable to.

Please can anyone help with some advice.
