Well it will soon be all over but I just wanted to add this information. This town boundary designation was not chosen by the council it was chosen by the organisation who gave the town the money to refurbish the rest of the town so no boundary markers no town development. Another little known fact...... You probably don't know that one brave person stuck his future on the line and said no to two other 'boundary markers' that were going to be built in Newgate and down The Bank, without his efforts there would have been 3 of these things to moan about. I think he deserves commending for this. Finally it has been quite the talking point for a while now but simply put no rumble strip no town regeneration and I think what has been accomplished has been great for the town and a couple of years of dodgy blocks in the road has been a small price to pay. You of course may disagree with me

You can have vote on it by clicking here But here is the place to talk about it. Judging by the letters in the mercury you have a lot say about this but lets not just talk about the gateway what about the rest of the development I think it looks great.

Full Bladder Challenge Yes I know this is an old topic now and yes I have heard that they are reopening again but after what happened the other weekend I thought I might have my say on the subject. Like a lot of you I read the discussions in the mercury with interest, nodding with agreement and tutting at the cut backs but not really 'that' bothered as we live in the town and are never more than 5 minutes away from our own (or a friendly) crapper. That changed on sunday. I was heading to the cash point outside Safeway when this old boy (70's easy) stopped me looking for the public toilet near the supermarket, I told him he had overshot it and pointed out its whereabouts and off he went hopping from foot to foot obviously bursting.After fighting with the cash machine and it coughing up the remaining £2.50 left in my overdraft I followed the same way and just out of interest thought I would see if the toilets were open after all. Guess what! thats right, at 7 o'clock on a Sunday. I walked into Galgate just in time to see the old boy driving away. I thought at the time what would that bloke think of a so called tourist town where he could not find an open public toilet and what would he be telling his friends. Later on a was thinking whatever happened to public services in general and why are the toilets shut. I have heard all the propaganda, cost, fighting, damage, perverts all have been mentioned as reasons to close a public service but are these not the things we pay the council and the police to sort out? Why should the minority stop the majority from performing from a perfectly natural function? In my opinion if I am getting a 2% pay rise and the council/police rates go up 10% plus I cannot get a run off anywhere but at home then it seems I am getting a raw deal. And finally! in todays climate of political correctness I was thinking about rights. My thoughts turned to Cuba and Guantanamo Bay and the fact that people are falling over themselves to protect the human rights of terrorists and yet I cannot exercise my most basic human right to empty my bladder when I need to!" where are the lawyers then when you need them........ Over to you..... ;D
