It seems that wedding fever has gripped the nation. Hundreds of street parties are about to get underway.
Myself and Lynn aren't entirely disposed towards the idea of royalty and all the extravagance and excess that it promotes. But we do understand that people will be coming together today - getting to know their neighbours and tasting eachothers snacks and nibbles.
We'd just like to urge those residents of Bebington and surrounding areas who are taking to the streets, to take a moment to ensure they clear up properly afterwards. There's nothing worse than having to walk through the remnants of yesterday's street party - half eaten jam tarts, squashed sausage rolls, soggy un-recycled paper plates.

Posters Alert - End This Dog Dirt
We've not given up on our Mentor a Metre/Foster a Foot campaign! Setting a lead for Bebington residents, we've decided to take another stand in not standing for taking the risk of standing in something unpleasant every time we walk through this underpass off Bromborough Road.
Our nephew used his top desk publishing skills to design us a hard hitting warning poster, which we've displayed prominently at various points on this route. We sincerely hope this makes inconsiderate dog owners think twice before letting their charge squat at this spot.
We're not concerned about copyright on our poster - so we'd encourage those of you with access to a personal computer to feel free to copy our design and use the posters in your area.
We'll report back on the success of this in 'our' underpass.

Domestic Bins Reveal Environmental Sins
May we wish happy new year to those of you who will be helping to create a Brighter Bebington in 2011.
We're sorry that our updates to you have slowed down recently. Our nephew who loads things onto the blogger for us has gone off to start an Environmental Science course at Inverness College. He'll still be helping us out when he can tear himself away from his studies!
Can we start the new year by urging residents to make a point of challenging their neighbours about any failure to use their grey recycling bins. During the recent Siberian weather many of our bins went unemptied for weeks and stayed out on the pavement. The opportunity to witness the contents of many of our neighbours bins left us dismayed! Clearly too many people still think it's okay to throw everything into the green bin and further mis-use our Country's limited landfill!
We called at offending neighbours homes and discussed this with them. We got mixed responses, but overall thought it worthwhile. We'd very much urge you to do the same with your neighbours if you witness a similar care-free attitude to rubbish.
