A BAR and restaurant has won retrospective change of use permission for an outdoor decking and seating area despite it being described as “ugly” and “sticking out like a sore thumb”. Arran Addison, who runs The Vault, in Marske, east Cleveland, claimed the business once able to trade outside of lockdown measures would not survive without it. The application received 16 representations in support with comments stating it was a “lovely addition” to Marske and would attract more visitors. But 16 objections were also received by Redcar and Cleveland Council which described the decking as an “eyesore”, a “monstrosity” and being “disrespectful” to a next-door funeral parlour, while also blocking access to a pedestrian footpath.

With a great deal of volunteer help, barn quilts are popping up all around Ottawa County this winter. One of the latest to appear, thanks to prolific artist Rhonda Biedlingermaier of Oak Harbor, is her “Sunbonnet Sue” barn quilt which was attached to Norma Kihlken’s barn at 1450 S. Danbury Road in Danbury Township last weekend. (Photo by D’Arcy Patrick Egan)
