It is looking very sad in the town centre at present, with three empty premises including the two largest frontages, Hereward Discounts and the former Post...
... Such a shame. The Post Office has been empty a disgracefully long time and now the Kitchen Studio, too! No planning application notice, so we must assume ...
Agree with your comments Mark. Given the demise of Hereward Discounts, I wonder if SKDC will reflect on their decision to allow the Pound Shop to open on an...

... Thanks, Phil. ... It makes you weep, doesn't it? Why was the Planning system invented? This is not a small matter, it is strategic and it a (small) part of...
I notice that with splendid hindsight, having attracted plenty of people to the Warehouse to shop, they have now realised that it causes parking problems and...
... Indeed. It was getting difficult for lorries to get through, and it is supposed to be an industrial estate, after all! I have no objection to a warehouse...
May I draw your attention to this event: a `First` for the Deepings. It will cover both visual and performing arts and is being held at the Deepings School...
... Thank you, Anne. I have been publishing such information as has been made public on the dsjpc.org.uk website's Leisure page - and Roy has been posting it...
I did hear talk of a night club style place, but with Riggers opening his new bar/eaterie where the Balti was shortly, I don't suppose that would be approved...

I've heard that Blades and the kitchen shop are going to be turned into flats with some building on the car park at the back - on current form I think that...
Judy is right - I have the plans for this. Flats at the front and a large block of two storey flats in the car park extending to within 3m of the back boundary...
... Rings a bell. So, no shops at all, then? Or are there lock-ups on the ground floor at the front? I'm all for flats: lots of people living in the town...
Sadly I have to agree with almost everything that has been said on this topic. However, now that I am no longer a councillor I can defend, as well as knock,...
The rumour I heard was that the site was to be re-developed for flats - it would be nice if they were affordable for our young home hunters but I expect they...

Thanks Roy - this is really well represented - except of course I meant to say that Brian Helyar is the only DSJ councillor on the plannung committee. Judy ...
I have just read in "Treasure Chest," the newsletter of DSJ CP School, that school uniform is available from the local supplier, Shotbowl, situated guess...
I've just heard on You & Yours on the radio that the number of 17-24 year-olds holding driving licences has dropped from 43% to about 23%. There is a big...
On the subject of affordable housing, what do members make of this news from South Holland, and does Cllr Dilks have any comment on what SHDC says about the...
Yes They used to be on Rycroft Avenue but outgrew their accommodation. Have bought several items there for Steven already. Will order what they havent' got....
... There are some nice big shops empty in the town centre if they'd like to move back to a retail area - and one near Deeping St James Bridge, too, but...
As with all business, however, I would guess the cost of retail premises in the centre might be an important factor. What would be really nice would be the...
Sorry Mark, but I think you are being a bit unfair to Shotbowl. When they first opened in the area some years ago, they had the shop unit in Rycroft Avenue,...
