DOZENS of objections have been made to expansion plans at a popular Weymouth holiday park. Waterside Holiday Group submitted plans for 56 ‘high end’ residences at Weymouth’s Bowleaze Cove. The plan is for an 18-acre site next to the existing Waterside Holiday Park and Spa, with 31 cedar-clad static homes and 25 ‘round houses’. The company says the homes would blend in with the environment and deliver vital jobs and spending to Dorset’s economy. A second area would be developed for recreation use, with landscaping work across the site. However 80 objections have been submitted by concerned residents to Dorset Council - with concerns raised that the expansion would be ‘detrimental’ to the area and would negatively impact traffic, parking, wildlife and pollution levels.
People rent flats next to venues, surprised when gigs happen
Local musicians and venue owners are pushing the DCC to stop noise complaints “killing live music,” after a folk gig at Dog With Two Tails was shut down because noise control could “hear it from a carpark.” As if that wasn’t the whole point.
Dave Bennett was sound engineer at the gig when noise control was called around 9.30pm. “Concerned for the bar, the bands and my own equipment, not to mention about a hefty fine,” Dave called the DCC, trying to clarify how quiet he needed to be to avoid being shut down. The DCC insisted “there is no measurable level as it is a subjective complaints based system,” but suggested that he shut doors and windows, and turn the bass down.
EverGen’s wholly owned subsidiary Net Zero Waste Abbotsford Inc. has entered into a 20-year offtake agreement with FortisBC Energy Inc. in which FortisBC will purchase up to 173,000 gigajoules of RNG annually for injection into its natural gas system.
The RNG injection is tied to the completion of an anaerobic digester project at EverGen’s existing Net Zero Waste Abbotsford, B.C. composting and organic processing facility.
Once it’s approved by the British Columbia Utilities Commission and other regulatory agencies, the project would convert municipal and commercial organic waste into enough energy to meet the needs of about 1,900 residential homes.
WA state highways are trashed. Don’t expect the litter to be cleaned up any time soon Craig Sailor, The News Tribune
The state’s highways are looking like drive-thru trash heaps, and it’s unlikely to get better until cleanup programs mothballed by the COVID-19 pandemic can be restarted.
Careless drivers, unsecured loads and garbage spilling from roadside homeless encampments are the leading causes of the unsightly mess along Washington’s roads, according to those charged with preventing and cleaning it up.
“Roads don’t litter themselves,” said Steve Williams who leads the state Department of Ecology’s war on litter in the Northwest region.
