The Haymarket theatre. LIVE theatre will return to Basingstoke next month after a year away due to the Covid pandemic. The Haymarket will play host to the town s first performance since March 2020 at the start of June as lockdown restrictions continue to ease, when John Lyons stars in whodunnit Father Brown - The Murderer in the Mirror. Boris Johnson confirmed earlier this week that theatres would be able to reopen from May 17 with socially-distanced, limited capacity performances. It comes after a tumultuous year for the arts industry both nationwide and in the town. Performances at the Anvil and Haymarket were stopped in March just before the Prime Minister announced the first lockdown, and earlier this year the council announced that it would be cutting funding for Anvil Arts, the charity that runs performances across the town s two theatres.

ELLIJAY, Ga. – After last week’s meeting and discussions addressing Gilmer’s growth and density concerns. The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners as responded to clarify the county’s current actions on the Land Use Ordinance.
Gilmer County Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlie Paris said to FYN, “I think many, many people have taken your article the wrong way. They believe that we are trying to increase the density for the sake of growth. In fact, we are trying to hold the density down by making changes to the land use ordinance that will provide less density, rather than more.”

ELLIJAY, Ga. – Gilmer’s Land Ordinance could push our county into a metro city rather than our rural agricultural based feel. A comment from County Attorney David Clark offered his professional opinion on what could happen with the current ordinance’s density restrictions on land use ordinances.
Looking to changes that could limit some of that density growth, the topic was ultimately pushed to a later meeting, however, that decision came after a lengthy discussion on the proposed changes. Revisits to the ordinance have come after a Gilmer has experienced record setting numbers and sizes of developments in the county. In July of 2020, there were nine multi-lot developments with plans filed. An overabundance of developments like this could and is changing the face of Gilmer County. For better or worse is a split response among some citizens and developers.
