Rubbish
Councillor Tony Balsdon is disappointed
at the response when only a handful of volunteers
turned up to clear litter from Victoria Business
Park. The council had a two-part action plan
on cleaning up the industrial estate. The
first was where residents would suggest places
that needed cleaning and the second was when
those places were cleaned; the first activity
attracting more participants than the first.
What a splendid idea!
Not just do we spend extortionate amounts
of council tax on services, but now we are
expected to provide them ourselves. What next?
A free mop and bucket with your locker band
at the Triangle?
Praise
For Our Town Council
Yes, really, Burgess Hill Town Council did
an excellent job with the St George's Day
Celebration. The atmosphere in the town was
fantastic, with face painting for the children
and Mid Sussex Brass Band playing at the bottom
of Church Walk. It was a proper community
day. Of course, should the proposed redevelopment
of the town go ahead then the brass band would
have been playing in the middle of a main
road.
Better
Mid-Sussex
Remember the out-of-touch panel who made decisions
for the redevelopment and dismissed Burgess
Hill as a "discount town"? Well,
they won't be happy. We are to have a new
pound shop. How vulgar! All those lower class
oiks dizzy with excitement after having splashed
out on new tops in Peacocks and Quality Seconds,
pouring into yet another den of inequity!
I rather hope it is a
proper Poundland, with its ink cartridges
and photo paper for a quid. I obviously have
far too much money to spend and should spend
my time doing something worthwhile instead,
like cleaning up litter for the council on
the industrial estate.
Dentists
News comes to me of the latest Act Too Production.
At the Hawth in Crawley between 31 May and
3 June is The Little Shop Of Horrors. The
founder of Act Too, Lance Milton, has rather
modestly given himself a lead role. And given
his wife, Sarah, one as well.
Lance is to be the
dentist, Orin Scrivello, who enjoys inflicting
pain. This must involve a great deal of acting
skill. Lance enjoy suffering and causing misery?
How very different from the Lance Milton we
grew to know and love at Oakmeeds in the 1980s.
