We seem to have missed the worst of the snow, but if you’d like to take your mind off the weather for a while, once again Maureen Horton of Travel a la Carte is participating in a Wedding Fair at which she’ll spoil you with her portfolio of exotic destinations. The event is to be held in the Cargill Centre, Kilmacolm on Saturday 2nd March from 12noon until 3pm. Last year’s event was very successful and the organisers hope for a similar, or even better, turnout this year. There will be plenty of offers available on the day.
If you sent in news and did not receive an auto-reply, chances are we may have missed your email. Just prior to our deadline, we had no email for the best part of a day and we can’t be sure that some didn’t go amiss. The joys of technology! So, a wee reminder - please make sure you’ve had your reply and if not, please call to check.
We now have lovely new signage in our offices, so there’s no need to guess which windows belong to The Advertizer; the first floor above Bernie’s Cafe in the heart of Bridge of Weir. Many thanks BD Print in Quarriers for a prompt and professional service. The other offices on the first floor are now occupied by Carol Cowan Photography and Pulse Electrical.
And yes, the scaffolding has gone at long last. The roof repairs are now finished, but vehicle access to the frontage remains closed since Renfrewshire Council has deemed it unsafe. A new surface to the frontage of Bernie’s Cafe is in progress - weather permitting; this will be for pedestrian use only. Obviously it’s not desirable to lose parking spaces, but safety has to come first.
Whilst on parking, since Maxwell Place was resurfaced last year it has become a popular parking spot. It tends now to be over congested and this makes deliveries difficult for the businesses which use the lane as access. Drivers are urged to park considerately, otherwise preventative measures will have to come into force. It is actually illegal to park on a pavement and one car has already been damaged by a delivery lorry.
For this month we have added a new section on "Planning" which carries information on the formation of the Local Development Plan for both Inverclyde and Renfrewshire. Everyone should take an interest in this process since it will affect all of us, please take the time to consider the proposals and make your voice heard, whether for or against.
A bit early too be thinking of summer, but never too soon to start planning. Bridge of Weir’s Gala Queen selection interviews will take place on Saturday 2nd March at 6.30pm in the Cargill Hall, Bridge of Weir. Application forms are currently being handed out to the local schools.
All this and more in our February magazine..... enjoy!
