Beetle replied to Mel's discussion 'Camper vans/White vans/Breakdown trucks/Double decker buses/Removal vans etc'

OK, I'm going to be a bit controversial, just get it out in the open - ultimately, I don't know where I stand on it. But, Camper vans, VW vans etc - the 4x4s of the liberal middle classes - are not very nice to have parked on one's street or espe...

Hi Steve "Hobby" my arse. Obviously all done in cash too. Just picked up on your pedestrian thing and will contact you to get in the loop. Personally I get more excited by the idea of being a militant cyclist that a militant pedestrian, but then...

Beetle commented on simon humphrey's blog post 'Crime Update February - March 09'

A pretty annoying contributory factor to the problem for pedestrians (esp ones like me of 6ft and taller) is vegetation overgrowing the path. It is really f**king annoying when you can't walk up the path without stooping and ducking around shrubb...

Having lived her for 16 years, I think I'm right in saying that historically this problem was centred around the top end of Montpelier around the school, where one guy in particular used the streets to store/repair/refurbish vans and trucks before...

Beetle replied to steve's discussion '20mph zone in montpelier'

Probably a bit late now, but your mention of "exclusion" of some roads left me wondering which roads might be excluded. I live on York Road and, in case there is any doubt, it definitely should be included. Are there still roads to be excluded?

Resident stages lamppost protest

Well, its St Andrews, but I reckon he deserves support. Perhaps they are planning to move it to Montpelier? oe-er.

Neighbourhood Watch

A new neighbourood watch group has been set up on York Road. This has been done in a slightly apologetic and nervous manner, as befits the pseudo/quasi-anarchic disposition of Montpelier.

However, it does boast the most absurd name of all NW groups: "Mork".

Members of Mork receive regular updates on crime patterns in the immediate vicinity of York Road, and other bits and pieces about crime/police in the area from time to time. None of the members own net curtains or notepads. We do however ex… Continue

I've never been a busybody but I might be willing to have a go

Yes, Neighbourhood Watch. Following the last meeting in the pub, I contacted Kim Dudderidge and said I might be interested in getting involved. However, I am away for several weeks of the year and it is not clear if this would be very helpful. She asked if I knew anyone else interested. Is there anyone out there?

Actually, I am not in the least bit interested in being a busybody, and it doesn't sound like that is what is required anyway. Also, i would only want to do it if there is gen

So many different groups!

First, thanks to the organizers for last night's meeting - well done.

Following discussion about there being many different "networks"/activities etc connected with Montpelier, I had a bit of a look round today and thought I would post a couple of links:
