And as is set out in the planning regs there is a balancing act to be carried out between the right to make a noise playing outside (which, contrary to SBC's viewpoint is NOT an absolute right but a qualified one) and the right to peaceful enjoyment of home life (also a qualified right.) In this case the balancing act had already been carried out and 2hrs play plus 5hrs supervised activity was the conclusion, thus the resident has a reasonable expectation that the nursery will abide by the rules upon which it is founded. If they do not he is right to challenge them and I hope he succeeds.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-47351083594055237372011-09-20T16:50:03.294+01:002011-09-20T16:50:03.294+01:00From whom are these children supposed to learn &qu...From whom are these children supposed to learn "compromise" ?Tattyfalarrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-49705622304157125622011-09-20T16:21:28.306+01:002011-09-20T16:21:28.306+01:00Henry: The nursery had won council grants totallin...Henry: <i>The nursery had won council grants totalling almost £19,000 – including awards for outdoor equipment such as a canopy, water butts, play equipment and waterproofs.</i>KenSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-46921739725323063862011-09-20T15:45:26.506+01:002011-09-20T15:45:26.506+01:00KenS, it's a Montessori school soy your tax is...KenS, it's a Montessori school soy your tax isn't buying them anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-27066461818165989422011-09-20T15:23:59.494+01:002011-09-20T15:23:59.494+01:00... awards for outdoor equipment such as .... wate...<i> ... awards for outdoor equipment such as .... water butts, .... and waterproofs</i><br /><br />Do they perhaps intend teaching scuba diving?<br /><br />But seriously why is my tax money buying water butts?

...Sorry Joolz, I'm with the school on this one.<br />As a one time resident of Bournemouth, Bournemouth suffers from the syndrome of getting everyone elses "Old Bags.<br /><br />It's a retirement town (like others such as Eastborne or Frinton) mainly of the 30 quid millionaire variety.<br /><br />They retire, sell up the big house they've lived in for 40+ years in some shitbox industrial town, then buy some crappy retirement flat which is much too small for all their crap. <br /><br />They don't know anyone, they're invariably something like an ex-works foreman but have pretensions of being a retired Major, and as such won't talk to the neighbours as they feel they're beneath them.<br /><br />Their meager pension just about covers the bills with little left over for luxuries, and they've nothing better to do than than complain about everything and report the guy down the road with no road tax to the "Authorities". <br /><br />Typical nimby "Wont someone just think of the property values?".<br /><br />As for the "Well I don't like children" brigade, well I don't like, well anything or anybody that are pretty much unlike me, but I have to suck it up. Noise from kids for 2hrs a day during fine weather, I mean FFS, suck it up. <br /><br />Thing with banning everything we don't like, is the bloke over the road may object to something you do, and if everyone gets their way, no one ends up being allowed to do anything.Budvarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411709142357622721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-90042359628999827492011-09-20T13:29:09.661+01:002011-09-20T13:29:09.661+01:00The parents are of course so selfless that they pa...The parents are of course so selfless that they park their kids onto strangers all day while they go out to work..........Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-39872956469018773572011-09-20T13:24:27.106+01:002011-09-20T13:24:27.106+01:00"The sound of children happily playing is won..."The sound of children happily playing is wonderful,"<br /><br />Personally I'd rather shove wasps up my arse than listen to that.Buckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169970711606515445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-38638760443334895842011-09-20T13:15:40.499+01:002011-09-20T13:15:40.499+01:00XX Caroline Hexter, acting manager of the nursery,...XX Caroline Hexter, acting manager of the nursery, said: “They’re not able to be learning outside..XX<br /><br />Ahh.
