FUTURE OF BICESTER FARMING ?

PEOPLE FIRST

The proposed new eco town is a

controversial subject in a place the size

of Bicester, possibly 5000 extra houses.

The scheme requires land, farming land ?

HOW ECO IS THAT ?

Spare a thought for the farmer and her family, the first they heard that their land and livelihood had been proposed as an option to the government was on

TV !

SCROOGE

PARKING (again)

With 125 rarely used parking spaces,

Bicester cattle market

is perfectly positioned for people

wanting to shop in town.

A recent request from local traders

to CDC to offer free parking

for the month of December

has fallen on scrooge like ears !.

When they are faced with the

ghosts of Bicester shops it will

be too late..........no business rates !.

BTFC MEETING

THE MEETING

There was a big turnout

for last nights meeting,

It was great to see how many

people care about the clubs future.

Has it got a future ???????.

There were high expectations from the locals

The BSA must be accountable etc etc.

WRONG

As a private trust they can do

whatever they want.

No matter how much money the

BSA have (millions ?).

they dont even have to publish accounts !

Financially they have the right to ask

BTFC to vacate the land if the debt remains unpaid.

Morally and in the spirit of sport ?????.

MONDAY 30TH NOVEMBER

7.30PM......DONT BE LATE.

BSA V SPORT

DISGUSTING !

ON THE SAME DAY AS THEY TELL THE PRESS ABOUT THE 23RD NOVEMBER MEETING

THE BSA SOLICITORS HAVE SENT PAPERS TO BTFC The basic message is pay up or get off !

RESIDENTS ? PARKING

RESIDENTS PARKING

The district council introduced this scheme to 'lucky' residents in January 2008, supposedly to help residents that struggled to park because of commuters.

In fact Priory Road was the only area without line markings to stop commuters

I know some determined commuters, but none that would park all day on double yellow lines

So the local councils jumped straight in to collect a nice little earner.

If your property has increased in value due to being hit

by the council cash stick....congrats.

If you can get parking close to your property and

have enough spaces..... .congrats.

BUT some of the problems caused by this scheme have left

some householders worse off !.

It was never checked where people use to park,

so properties with access to off road parking

and houses with dropped kerbs also have permits.

Each vehicle is entitled to 100+ visitors permits

free of charge, visitors are not residents

why are they taking up householders spaces ?.

The council wont guarantee parking spaces

but in some areas they have issued permits to

none residents........what use is that to the people that actually live there ?.

These permits are available because of the property

address and yet they are valid in every zone, why ?.

This was supposed to help people that live in an area,

its not an exclusive club, where permit holders can

park all over the town while 'normal people' have to pay !

Camper vans are excluded from any height restrictions

so if you dont want yours blocking out the light/view stick it outside somebody elses house !

WHAT A JOKE !.

ps they can start issuing fines in April 2010

CELEBRITIES OR US ?

Following the surprising (shocking news) that the district council paid £8000 to a celebrity to open the new look sports centre, do we think its right or fair ?.

That they couldnt find an inspirational person/youngster in a town this size......beggars belief !.

The fact that they didnt even try sums up their spend spend mentality.........its our money !.

The local mp has jumped in commenting that not one single resident has complained.

DID WE KNOW ? only after the event when we read about it in the local press.

BICESTER FOOTY FINISHED ?

With the sad news that Bicester Town Football Club is facing closure over a £9000 debt to the BSA and appeals for the public to help, shouldnt we be asking how this can happen ?.

The club pays for the use of the pitch, floodlights, changing rooms etc, this money is paid to the local Bicester Sports Association, they say to cover their costs.

This land was donated to the people of Bicester for local sport.

In the past the BSA and its trustees have sold land for millions of pounds to .......
Tesco..........you guesssed !.
So, how can our Town Football Club be homeless ? and if they have to leave what will happen to the land ? our land.

THE GARTH

This beautiful old building was given to the people of Bicester, it is now in a state of disrepair after years of neglect by succesive councils

There are those on the council who see this impressive old building demolishished claiming that it is too expensive to repair.

This is only a personal view but wouldnt the unexplained £30,000 council payoff have paid for a few new windows etc ?.

This massive amount of OUR money has been spent and despite the local newspaper asking why under the Freedom of Information act.........still remains unexplained.

Any comments ?

SUPERMARKET SWEEP ?

Fantastic fresh produce and a world of choice in each store.

With six Tesco stores in Bicester (a number unrivalled in this country)

are we getting a fair choice ?.

My cupboards are full of Tesco Finest, Tesco's and Tesco Value products

Some choice !

What do others think ?
