life in the fast lane ????
It is interesting, that the so called community group called GRASS,
charges £9.99 for their outdoor cinema shows.
You can go to the Carlton cinema or the Vue for less.
They also plug all the time that the concerts are FREE.
They were always free with the residents group CRA, who were there before them, as was everything said group did.
I remember reading that the CRA put on over 300 events and that does not include the farmers market
I for one, will never patronise anything this group does, for their treatment to the farmers market.
No doubt the people who gave their support to the CRA and market initially, will be in attendance at the GRASS groups events.
And to think they are in line for £500,000!
Unbelievable!
I agree James, the farmers market was very badly treated by GRASS. Also coloured my view of them.
