Their stated aim is graphically publicised on the Organisation’s vehicles.</div><div><br />Why is it then, that the organisation has little or no pride in its own “home” ? Why is it they do not try a little harder here on their own doorstep? Why is it that from as early as the middle of last year, these grounds have been allowed to deteriorate ?. Yes, even if of late, there has been some effort to improve the situation, why is it that shrub and hedge cuttings/rubbish are left around in heaps.Why is it that the run-down hideous prefabricated “classroom”, which should have been demolished or replaced for some time now, is not given the attention it (together with the straggly shrubs presumably left to hide the eye-sore) and the village deserve.</div><div><br />Is there any pressing reason why this BTCV area cannot be open to the BJ village community to enjoy and pass time of the day, particularly in the nice weather ? It could also improve the frontage area of the School ( presumably part of the old playground area) if several collections of plants/flowers in containers could be included to create more colour and generally improve this bland and stark area.</div><div><br />Our village deserves a more caring attitude yet why should an organisation which openly promotes itself as <em>Inspiring people - Improving places</em> actually be blind to its own environment </div><div> </div><div></div><div><em>Bee visit our mother site at - </em><a href="http://www.burtonjoyceonline.co.uk/"><strong><span style="color:#3333ff;">www.burtonjoyceonline.co.uk</span></strong></a></div><div><strong><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></strong></div><div><em>-</em></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">“Click” relevant link for access

WHY because it enables everyone to participate, suggest, complain, join in with everyone of like or different mind and interest - and YES everyone will need access to the internet, yet even though those without, can readily gain access and quite freely via the service provided by the local library<br />-<br />The aim of this ONLINE WEB PORTAL is to create a wider awareness and participation in the community activities and services which are currently available and create even more in the future when the need arises. It is also just as important for each and everyone of us to become familiar with the efforts of our local administrators at the - Parish Council, Gedling Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, Westminster M P and Euro MP, yet show no hesitation in providing constructive criticism when it is considered justified. Or at least enter into debate with others within the ONLINE FORUM facility<br />-<br />We are asking all those who visit the new ONLINE WEB PORTAL site to<br />-<br />“Log-in” and register a FREE ACCOUNT which will provide a FREE personal e-mail address and enable participation within the FORUM and POLLS, plus the contribution articles, photo images, including adding Business/Service details/adverts plus and Wanted and For Sale items.<br />-<br />When you visit the site there is much more to experience, and have no doubt, you will become hooked and inevitably make routine return visits to update yourself on the Local and National News and Weather etc for the Burton Joyce Online facility is also your online magazine constantly changing, updating and pushing back the boundaries with articles covering most local interest<br />-<br />PLUS a special section for the Ladies amongst us with a LIFESTYLE category which offers VIDEO/AUDIO access to subject such as Food & Drink, Beauty and Style, Health, Parenting etc. This category will be likened to as the “Honey Pot is to Bees”<br />-<br />There is also an Online Polls on many and varied topics/interests . With our open philosophy readers this will enable all residents to directly contribute to possible village changes with an awareness of the Poll opinions as they unfold .. ..<br /><br />So keep you eye pealed the official lauch will occure around the 10th of February<br />-<div class="blogger-post-footer">“Click” relevant link for access

At that time, it was decided that the opinion and suggestions of the community would be sought for consideration.. Some time later I believe the PC provisionally concluded that the GROVE area should be developed and used for the relaxation and reflections of the B J residents ( I am not too sure of the precise wording, however it is something along these lines) </em>.</div><div align="left">-<br /><span style="color:#000099;"><em>I would like to learn HOW and WHAT influenced and persuaded the PC to proceed in this particular direction.. .. .. . Now don’t get me wrong - I do not necessarily disagree with PC decision , however, I do question the mechanism used to arrive at this decision. I personally do not recall - EVER - being consulted by the PC or any individual Councillor on subjects or decision taken by the PC..- where is the “Open” administration promised at election time. I am also particularly interested in the huge negative effect the “Poplars Playing Field “ has on the PC budget. </em></span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#000099;"><em>-</em></span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#000099;"><em><u>The PC minutes promised a review of the subject - uumh !!!!.</u></em></span></div><div align="left">-<br /><em>Once again let me say that I admire and respect tremendously all those giving their time for the administration and betterment of their community.

How would you establish an approach. </em><br /><em>-<br />Well assume you do have an<strong> e mail address and access to the</strong> <strong>www/Internet</strong>.<br />-<br />First of all you would <strong>“log on” </strong>to the Internet and enter search words ie Burton Joyce plus other relevant words ( family name, interest etc) in the search box, then wait a few seconds for the magic of the Search engines ( “Google” , “Live Search” “Yahoo” etc ) to do their work<br />-<br />You will now become confronted with page upon page of various results - sometimes relevant, sometimes not relevant, some of the results will be definitely “out of date” and of no use whatsoever, others mayl be of interest but of no immediate use to you. There will also be numerous listings of websites administrated by opportunistic operators who own sites with vague connections to Burton Joyce and be supplemented with commercial adverts<br />-<br />There may well not be a "search result" that answers your particular need. You may well decide that there is nothing or no one specific listing which answers your need, be it general, specific, genealogical, historical or social etc. This may in no way the result of your own shortcomings . or a lack of precise information -</em><br /><em></em><br /><em><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">“No” it is very likely the shortcoming is the in-ability, or more frequently the resistance, of the individuals in Burton Joyce to provide details to the Search Engines on the Internet as a world wide contact source.</span></strong><br />-<br />I can accept that if there are issues of confidentiality (which over-ride all the obvious benefits of Internet communication) . However, I still cannot understand, why certain groups and individuals in Burton Joyce continue with their resistance and personal opposition to accepting the inevitable - the progress, benefits, and advantages available to all by embracing the www/Internet<br />-<br />I simply cannot understand the logic behind any resistance to accepting a modern communication facility such as the www/Internet which enables an individual to establish visual contact, send messages in text or audio to friends, relatives, business contacts, similar interest groups and establishments etc., etc..</em><br /><em>-</em><br /><em> This method of communication to and from ones own home or establishment to, anywhere in the world, which has an Internet access/service - <u>is available NOW to everyone with access to a telephone</u>. </em><br /><em>-<br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Having www/Internet access, together with an e mail address,</span> is tremendously useful to individuals and organisations, for it provide so many communication benefits and advantages . In my opinion and that of many other, the resistance to embracing this revolutionary communication medium shows a complete lack of social responsibility and a total mis-understanding of the benefits. The effective and widespread advantages which has already provided positive result to millions worldwide have been delivered by the www/Internet </em><br /><em>-</em><br /><div align="center"><em><u>OK !
