A Weekend off

This last weekend started with a short notice TENS hearing of 4 applications for Temporary Event Notices in Committee Room A in County Hall, started at 2.30 and resolved 3 could and one could not proceed.

All that said sounds like three interesting live events leading up to Christmas.

Friday evening out for a bite and a phone call on the way back means a trip to what once was a quiet pleasant part of Pontefract, nice houses, good people bringing up young families, a number of folk who have been there since the houses were built. The issue is a 20 yard ginnel linking one estate with another which is regularly invaded by a small group of young people who unlike the many are bent on generating a living hell for the people who live around the alley. Things would be much worse but for the efforts of the local Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator and members of the Neighbourhood Policing team. On Friday night things were kicking off and I went up to give moral support and look at some ways forward.

Quiet and pleasant it has been and it will be again.


Saturday morning was a chance to visit the Market and have Coffee and a piece of cake with about a hundred other people in St Giles Church, Fun on Saturday evening in Chequerfield "Real Corkers" an evening of books and wine at St Marys Centre, followed by some more aggro.

Sunday night at Wakefield Cathedral experiencing the Yorkshire Philharmonic's Messiah and a stunning night for all so a bit of culture then back for more aggro.

How time passes when you are having fun...
