How come show (fair) people can pull on to the same Alexandra Road field they have just evicted me from.

We are all supposed to be travellers. My family are all bred from show people.

This is a insult to me. What makes them think they are better than me.

SKDC have made a big mistake thinking they are better than me at the end off day we are all the same people .

And it says no caravans allowed on the eviction notice but what are they living in?

My father’ people were show people. I was born on the old fairground in Rotherham.

Jon Buck says…

Welland Court Grantham, SKDC Housing land, disgusting state.

I asked SKDC why the council estates are looking so bad, and why we never see housing officers anymore.

I was told they had changed how they work and only have four days a week they can actually visit and see tenants now, so cannot get about and see as much as they want and did.

Whose idea is it to cut the days down?

SKDC you need staff out and about!

Another business has deserted town.

Plumber Merchants Wolseley, formerly Plumb Center has closed its Dysart Road branch.

The notice informs us they have moved to Newark

Julia says...

What a mess we have on the pavement by the side of Dysart Road Bridge.

Thick layers of posters are peeling off a hoarding covering the walking area and bits are breaking off scattering everywhere.

I understand that people are being fined £75 for dropping nub ends in the street.

In comparison this should ensure that no one has to pay council tax for the next year.

I’ve just found a Nintendo Switch with several games.

If anyone responds they can message me on here or call 07919140032.

I’ll obviously ask some questions before giving it back to be sure.

Sue McQuinn says…

I have received the following message….

“My 80 year old father took himself to A&E”
“Father nearly 91, in tears ….. can’t sleep”
“Reg no not recognised … card used …. no receipt”
“Handicapped daughter for X-rays ….. blue badge holder”
“Delay waiting for prescription …”
“Queue to pay ….. people didn’t know what to do…”

– What do all these have in common? They’ve received a PCN from ParkingEye. They haven’t intended to defraud the company, in most cases they’ve paid or there were very good reasons why they didn’t. In most cases their appeals have been turned down prior to further intervention.

– GOVuk guidelines on NHS patient, visitor and staff car parking principles say, in regard to contracted-out car parking “NHS ORGANISATIONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF PRIVATE CONTRACTORS WHO RUN CAR PARKS ON THEIR BEHALF. NHS ORGANISATIONS SHOULD ACT AGAINST ROGUE CONTRACTORS IN LINE WITH THE RELEVANT CODES OF PRACTICE WHERE APPLICABLE.”

– Is ULHT doing enough to stop PCNs being issued without common sense and discretion being applied? I don’t think so.

– Next Meeting – 12th April – need as much support as possible – this petition is something tangible.

I came across this bicycle on Dysart Road this morning.

Just wondering if it has been stolen and dumped or if it was left out for scrap.

As a last resort I’ll take it to the police station.

A joint fundraising event will be held at Jump Revolution, Unit 23 Springfield Industrial Estate, Grantham, NG31 7FZ.

Can collect from the local area if required

Julia asks…

Can someone kindly explain why there is a keep clear sign outside the sorting office, on Wharf Road, which has the occasional vehicle going ion and out, while the entrances/exits to Morrisons and the multi-storey carpark used by the public all day long does not?

Patrick says…

To young teens on motor bikes and quad bikes speeding around the Beechcroft Road and surrounding local roads without any protection.

There are lots of young children who play out around this area.

You need to slow down before themselves or someone will get hurt!

Sue McQuinn says…

There seems to have been another upsurge in problems this week.

**PARKINGEYE HOSPITAL CAR PARKS**
– More reports of PCNS issued in error
– More reports of queues
– More reports of machines not working properly
– More reports of Blue Badge holders having problems
Etc etc etc …..
After 4 months it’s not getting better!

Sue McQuinn says..

ULHT introduced a new pre-registration process for Blue Badge holders a few weeks ago & on Friday updated the details on their website to include the new “easier” system.

However, it seems that this registration can only be done at main reception areas + some clinics. At Grantham it’s being done at Facilities as there is no Reception. Does anyone even know where that is??? 

Pre-registration was supposed to make things easier, not more difficult! Even though it only has to be done once, BB holders shouldn’t need to traipse about finding somewhere to register. 

I’m trying to get further clarification on this, in the meantime, I’d be interested in experiences using this new system. 

Vandals have finally pulled own on of the new posters from under the pedestrian tunnel linking Huntingtower Road and the station.

Students in collaboration with LNER erected the new posters depicting the best of Grantham two weeks ago, but within days they had been attacked.

Ironically, the first poster to be removed depicted war hero Albert Ball, a First World War Ace who died in 1917 in the service of his country.

Dr Leah Phillip asks….

Does anyone in Grantham know what the high pitched noise that can be heard on Dudley Road is?!

It’s happened in previous years but is worse this one.

It was particularly loud on Sunday.

Is there any reason that net work rail haven’t posted flyers thruough the doors of residents on Gonerby Hill Foot?

They are obviously doing maintenance work on the tracks but the noise is horrendous… all Saturday night, sunday morning and again sunday night .

It’s especially bad for people living on the Maltings, New Row , Pretoria Road and Webster Way …4am and they are still working.

Have they disrupted anyone elses sleep ?
