back working again

Ok Iback on the air and in the office.

We have the BBC in the ERN office today and they are working with the Somali Voice, so having to walk around on tip-toes, still nice to know that the BBC can find Easton without going to St Paul 1st.

will post more later in the day.

One more thing that mkes me see red at Xmas

I got talking in a pub this xmas to a group of people, (I know silly me) about Xmas and 4 people in the group said that they do not do Christmas. Ok that their right and they can do that, what got me mad was they then started on about the fact they will only get 13 days with pay off work.

When I ask why are you worry about your time off if you do not do Xmas, and that there will be lots of people that do, do this time of year working over the hols like the folks running this pub, working in hotels etc. One of them then said well I cannot see why the pubs have to close on Xmas day and I just have to make do with beer at home.

Is there no time that is safe anymore, I worked in the hotel trade for 21 years and in that time I got one Christmas off,and no time did I get 13 Days off. But I did look forward to Sunday has that was the day off in the hotel I work at till the law was changed, then we all had to start working on a Sunday.

Before you start the fight to get the pubs open on Christmas think about the little people that will not get any hols over this so you can party out at you local.

Christmas is coming

Ok so this time next week Christmas day will be coming to the end, but like a lot of men I still looking for something to buy for the woman in my life, for if I do not I will not have a life.

I be walking around the shops hoping that something will jump out and say I am the thing that she will love.  Why is it when this time of the year comes around a man mind just goes out for a walk when shopping.

oh well only 6 more day before she looks under the tree, for the thing that will show her that I love her.  Help!!!!!!

On read the Bristol Indymedia last night I was sad to read a posting about the River Frome and the art work on the underpass going under the M32.

As I post on the site the art work has not a thing to do with the River Frome but a lot to do with making the underpass look a lot better, as asked for by local residents.

I just love people that think they know it all posting on a web-site facts that are not right, and then talking about things the Council had No input into, as it makes fighting the council harder as they can and will point out that people post on the Bristol Indymedia cannot get their facts right.

Oh the right facts

1 local residents asked for the art, planned the art and got the money from Neighbourhood Renewal.

2 the artwork is on the bike path and 4 artworks was done not just the river Frome side (a point not made in the Bristol Indymedia) 

3 thanks to local residents fighting the river will be clean out next year (Jan/Feb)

If we wish to win the fight with BCC then we all need to get the fact right 1st and stop in my mind running down the hard work being done in Easton by local residents. Can the posters started coming to the meetings and stop having meeting in the pub to make up things.

Todays meeting

Well folks we had the meeting today with Cllr Gary Hopkins and the team from the council, and what can I say about it and being nice at the sametime.

We had be told by the local residents that they had worrys about regarding the council recycling policies in the Easton area, so we call a meeting so that they could put over their points of view to the council, but only a few came to this meeting. Yes I know it was on a Monday and in the daytime but if the local reidents cannot turn up to a meeting that they ask for, what hope have we in changing anything that council wishes to do.

Can I thank the few that did come and tell the council what is not working right, and I look forward to seeing if anything does change in the local area.

I have to thank Michael Debenham at Easton Community Centre for giving the local community the room free (they change £60 for a 3 hr meeting) and Karen from Grounds4Change for the great Lunch.

also on the list of thanks are:

Bangladesh Womens Group, Awaz Utatoh, and the Somali Voice for their presentations to the meeting, which Cllr Hopkins told me was a eye opener to him and his staff. I also wish to thank Cllr Hopkins for give up his free time to come to the meeting.

Woody it was nice putting a face to the words I read on the net.

 

Easton is an inner city area of the city of Bristol in the United Kingdom. Informally the area is considered to stretch east of Bristol city centre and the M32 motorway, centred around Lawrence Hill. Its northern and eastern borders are less defined, merging into St Phillips Marsh and Eastville. The area includes the Lawrence Hill and Barton Hill estates.

In administrative terms, Easton comprises the electoral wards of Easton and part of Lawrence Hill. It is located within the Bristol East constituency.

The Census 2001 reports Easton has a younger average age than that of England and Wales, and that around 35% of the population is of Black or Asian origin. This figure rises towards Lawrence Hill.

Easton is one of the most deprived areas in the South West of England, with the Lawrence Hill ward the most deprived ward in the region and one of the most deprived in Britain. This has resulted in the area being granted European Union objective 2 status and ‘New Deal for Communities’ status by the UK government which is only granted to the most underprivileged urban wards.

Back in the early twentieth century people living outside the areas of Lawrence Hill and Easton were fearful of travelling to these areas as they were afraid of being robbed. Moving ahead in time however, Easton continues to be part of a thriving diverse multi-cultural community with many arts and political activities.

Despite these problems (or perhaps because of them), Easton is a vibrant community with many local community and pressure groups, local bands, political groups and some anarchist communes. It also has three separate Mosques, a Synagogue, a Sikh Temple and several churches of different denominations. In the northern part of Easton, market research information also confirms perceptions of higher than average current affairs interests, high rates of those educated to degree level and higher rates than average of those working in the public sector.

St Marks Road in northern Easton includes one of Britain’s highest rated Vegetarian restaurants (by the British Vegetarian Society 2004), as well as Moroccan and Indian sub continent restaurants and shops specialising in organic and ethnic foods, further reinforcing the area’s reputation as ‘alternative’.

Easton has two local railway stations, Lawrence Hill and Stapleton Road, which are serviced by trains on the Severn Beach line plus occasional services to and from Gloucester or South Wales, but which lie on the main line to South Wales, the Midlands, Scotland and London. The M32 motorway marks the border of Easton to the north. The A4320 dual carriageway also cuts the area in two.

Its time to say thank you anita

Last Day of the week

Well I in the office is still trying to work out if this as be a good or bad week.

The planning for the meeting on Monday has come to a end and I hoping that some people will come after giving out 300 leaflets, 88 phone call to local groups and Cindy going out and talking to 10  groups, some that had ask for this meeting – so I let you know all about this on  Monday.

There just three more weekends and it will be Christmas do you feel like me that all the fun as gone out of this time? I use to look forward to this time you know the lights, all the shops dress up, kids looking into the toy shops (that a thing of the past toy shops) the great food you just got a Christmas, walking out to meet mates for a beer.

So whats changed, well the shops started Christmas this year on Monday 16 October, ok it was the 1st shop that was dress up with Christmas lights but by the end of October lots of shops had done the same. You cannot take your car to a pub or have a drink if you are driving the next day so the taking of the wife out for a meal and some great wine at this time of year has stopped and the kids tell you that they have seen on the tv the thing they wish for Christmas and oh yes it going to cost you about £75 and johnny down the road dad is getting him one.

But I lucky in live in Easton where the pubs are just a 5 min walk away with good beer and food and the local shops did not start selling Christmas before Dec and where there is still a toy shop (and you still see the kids looking in the window) and the people do wish you Happy Christmas . So deep down inside yes I am looking forward to Christmas but at the same-time wishing that we could slow this time of the year down again.

 Oh by the way Happy Christmas

well it be wet and raining in eaton today

The winter has come at last to bristol, with high winds and rain. Last night walking home there is snow in the air.
But we was more lucky that a area of London where over a 100 people are living in local churchs after being hit by hight winds.
