LATEST... from Greenbelt Action Group website....
Apparently the Court Case scheduled in Stirling against a non-paying resident for Thursday 23rd April has collapsed as a result of Greenbelt withdrawing.
"We have learnt today that Morton Fraser, a firm of solicitors representing Greenbelt Group has resigned - they're in very good company - because Greenbelt Group's auditors resigned recently too.
Greenbelt's current tactic of coming the heavy with its customers appears to be backfiring badly. More people than ever appear to be contacting their local police force, lawyers, MPs, MSPs and councillors and saying "ENOUGH"!"

Land Maintenance Companies - Westminster Hall Debate transcript
It appears there are numerous reasons why companies such as Greenbelt get away with their atrocious and shocking business dealings, but there are various bodies investigating the whole land management scheme and there will be national reports from these being published early this year that should carry some weight and continue the groundswell for long overdue change to the systems currently failing estates all over the country.

Big Dirty Weekend at Delph Pond
Mon, 18/05/2009 - 15:35 — johnlamond
Hi all,
There is to be a Big Dirty Weekend on Sunday 7th June - more info on this link
This is organised by Clackmannanshire Voluntary Service (CVS) and is something which we should all support. Apparently, the council lawyers have discovered that the strip of land between the park and the retaining wall which holds up the gardens of nos 2 - 22 (and probably stops most of the estate from falling into the pond) still belongs to the council and NOT Greenbelt.
CVS will be doing work in the week before the event to clean up that strip of woodland and repair paths, etc.

Berry Messy Waxwings
Mon, 06/04/2009 - 15:36 — Admin
These unusual birds have been causing a bit of mess around some Delph Wynd gardens the past week.
Attracted by bushes full of red berries, they've been taking up residence on a number of TV aerials, and as a consequence the ground below looks like someone's been splattering raspberry jam everywhere.

Possible Bogus Salesman.
Fri, 20/03/2009 - 17:22 — eddiehughesLast night (thur 19.03.09) My wife answered the door to a young man (early twenties) who flashed an ID with the company name TALK TALK. He asked to come & check our phone line as their had been some changes made at the exchange. He was politely informed that we were not TALK TALK customers . However for some reason he still wanted to enter the house. This was refused , and he had the door closed on him.

speeding in the cul-de-sac
Mon, 02/03/2009 - 19:59 — billymack1Hi, now that spring/summer is approaching and the kids will be out playing in the street can I appeal to those who like to use the cul-de-sac as a drag race strip to perhaps consider killing their speed to 10 mph rather than one of the kids? I realise this will add an incredible 5-10 secs on to your journey but its disappointing that a number of residents, and those with children!, insist on thundering along the street to their driveway. Thanks to everyone who responds to this.
