  1. I went through Boots this morning, they are building a new access road next to the roundabout on Lilac grove, at the other end of the site Thane road end they are having a bridge built over the canal, they are supposed to be building a lot of houses on spare land.

    Possibly the whole site could be houses in the future.

    Never drove a Sherpa van NBL..were they any good?

    They were terrible vans, they were underpowered and seemed to rust away overnight. They were popular as they were a lot narrower than Bedford CFs and Ford Transits.

    You see quite a lot of them in Turkey, so they are probably still made over there.

  3. There is a report on the fire and the demolition, on NEP wesite. The council used a demolition contractor from Leicester, and had to have a excavator escorted from Leicester in order to do the job.

    There is a local company with a similar excavator currently knocking down the old pub at the top of Ilkeston road, would it not have been quicker and cheaper to have approached that company, as due to the commotion the machine would have been sat idle.

  4. I used to use the libraries a lot but had not been for a few years, about 6 months ago I popped into Stapleford library and got a few books, at the self check out thing my card would not work. I spoke to a librarian and she issued me with a new inspire card. She mentioned that the libraries are coming out of Council control and will be run like a charity.

    So it is best to support them before we end up losing them.
