There are lots of signs most people simply ignore, 30 is a good example. You could do the same, just leave your cardboard by the side of the bin. What would be wrong with that?

In any event, how do you know the Market Waste Collector hasn't been told to do what he is doing?


The wind would blow the waste away and spread every where leaving the whole place a mess.

The waste collector is not a registered waste carrier and therefore needs a licence to remove commercial waste from any site.

He is paid to remove the waste in a proper manner and i believe the market traders dont have a clue as to what he is doing

What's wrong with that? Saves the market cleaner fly tipping. I'd argue that the Council is responsible for taking the rubbish away. That's one of the things they were set up to do back in the 1880s after all. Do we really want to hear all the excuses as to why its 'too hard'; frankly no, they are being paid to do a job, like anyone else. After all, we don't hear about Sainsbury's saying its petrol is for 'domestic customers only' or not cleaning the pump area because someone has spilt a bit do we?

It's simply a failure of service, so the other option is to apply the alternative - don't use the recycling area yourself, put your own refuse in your own black bin. Job done.



I do recycle most of my home stuff in my bins but bottles, clothes and large cardboard is easier to take there, especially as i dont have transport to go to the tip in Newbury .
There are also lots of local people in similar situations to me who trundle up there with shopping trolleys to do the same thing only to find the bins full and rubbish stacked outside the bins.
There are signs on the site stating No Commercial Waste.
Job Done

Every Friday i go to the recyling bins at the back of Waitrose,however or the past several weeks the bins are completely full with Market rubbish.
I have noticed that the market employs someone to clean up the market.
Surely this is commercial waste and not household.
After making some enquiries i found out that the gentleman doing the collection is not a registered waste carrier.
Having complained to WBC they have taken no action and said its not there responsibility.
Who is responsible? and is this legal?

Is anyone else fed up with this Royal Wedding lead up to the event?.

Every news paper and radio station you listen to is full of this bloody wedding and who is turning up etc.

Why is it so special that the media have to spend so much time on it?

Mr Beynon made a mistake and has made and has accepted the consequences also he has said he is sorry.

If it had been a non-know local person would you all have made such a fuss?.

We all make mistakes and that should be the end of the story.

How about praising him for some of the good things he has done.

Beer, wine tobacco etc up and no one complains about this when, if you are someone who smokes or drinks the increase can be more than the increase to us self employed.
Lets be honest and agree that "we" self employed are a minority really and we havent had it bad in the past few years.

A small increase in NI contributions for self employed is fair.

As a self employed person i have no problem with this, the increase will cost me approx £4.80 per week.

I can offset this by increasing my prices and/or also claim this back from my overheads.

check out the NWN sales figures by asking them its not that hard.

Sales do increase when Proms etc are published by over 12%.

By "We" do you mean yourself or a group of people who you represent?

Yes we are a small group of people

How do you know?


You can easily check the sales of the NWN and yes they do increase when things like proms etc are published

I've long since given up buying it: I read (what little there is to read) at work.

It needs to return to a broadsheet, bring back TV listings and drop the pointless tut like school prom photos and irrelevant lists of what children want for Christmas: we're really not interested.


We're really not interested is a statement from you and probably not the majority.

TV listings can be found in daily papers and are probably more up to date than a weekly listing.

The local events (proms etc) sell the paper so it must be popular.

Please don't follow the newres example of insulting those whose point of view do not agree with yours.
Thanks.


Why do people state things about the NWN and then complain.

If you dont like the way the paper is presented then dont buy it, quite simple

From memory i think back in 1999/2000 the Market was making a very good profit, however i cant view the accounts from that period.
As a market trader at the time i am sure the market was making a very good profit and would still be if it was allowed to operate as it was at that time.

This was taken in 1999/2000.

The market was full and had a large waiting list at that time.

I remember the Market Manager Brian Newman who was awarded with a shield from the National Market Traders Federation for his turnaround of the whole market and being nominated as Market Manager of the Year on 2 separate years.

I believe they used the waiting list to open a Sunday Market in Northbrook Street which lasted for a couple of years.

Having checked with Wests Berks Council, there is no by law to stop buskers so the BID cannot enforce anything.

A similar thing happened at Camden Town not so long ago and after a challenge by way of potential high court writ the buskers were allowed to continue.

The BID have no legal rights to control this type of thing and should be taken to task.

Simon, i think you will find that the weekly market is managed by an employee of the town council and therefore is a part of the built in staffing costs.

£120.00 per day to rent a wooden Chalet.

There is no contract yet for the operator to run for 5 years that is just an option IF this years event is successful.

If you notice the operator is very cautious about confirming things when they say "could" to several things in the statement.

Personally i think the event is planned for to long a period IF it goes ahead.

I can't see how they can justify the 30mph limit though, it wasn't like it earlier in the week? Haha.
Usually they would have the 30mph big signs up but it's not normal to install electronic signs in temporary speed limits?

I fear they are going to reduce the speed limit permanently to 30mph. Which won't be abided by anyway. I've not seen any accidents on this road.


The 30 mph has been there for at least the last 3 weeks (unless you drive with your eyes closed).
There have been at least 3 fatal accidents on the section of road in the past 2 years so i think 30 mph is what it should be kept at.
