Servicing your car regularly keeps it safe and roadworthy and reduces the risk of it breaking down. It also helps to maintain its value. It’s recommended that you should get your car serviced every 12 months or 12,000 miles – which ever comes around sooner. You may also consider an interim service every 6 months or 6,000 miles.
Give us a call to arrange your service. Our experienced and fully trained staff will be happy to help. We can also arrange your MOT too.
All vehicles over three years old are required by law to have an annual safety check – the Ministry of Transport test or MOT. The test is monitored by VOSA (Vehicle & Operator Services Agency) and involves a series of comprehensive checks on the vehicle which are designed to ensure it meets the minimum safety level required.
Having a current MOT certificate is a legal requirement in the UK and it is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is examined every year. Failure to do so could result in a fine and could also invalidate any insurance claims involving the vehicle.
Call us today to book your MOT.
Diagnostic testing looks at petrol and diesel emissions, air conditioning, engine fault codes, ABS, airbags and transmissions. It can help to detect engine problems early and save you time and money in the long run as well as keeping your car roadworthy.
So, if you are wondering why your instrument panel light or engine management light has suddenly come on, don't ignore it, the warning could be the start of a major defect or breakdown.
Call into any County Tyres branch to have your vehicle tested. We’ve got the latest diagnostic equipment and our fully trained technicians are here to help.

Some business models and products have been around so long that we just take them for granted, while others concepts that are becoming new business models are so new that we’re not quite sure what to expect. It is probably easiest to explain what I mean and why this juxtaposition is important by looking at a few examples. Most of these examples involve challenging our orthodoxies.
In the typical coffee shop pretty much anywhere in the world, the business model works like this – you buy a coffee and it comes along with it the right to take up a place at any table in the café for as long as you want. So, coffee buys you time. An article I came across on NPR highlights an entrepreneur in Moscow that has opened a restaurant that loosely translates to the Clockface Café where instead of buying coffee and getting time, you instead buy time ($4/hr per person for the 1st hour and $2 an hour after that, up to a maximum of $12 after 5 hours) and get coffee for free. Ivan Meetin, the founder, plans to open his next café in London. Meanwhile I have heard of similar operations in Paris, and by now they can probably also be found elsewhere. So, in your business what do people get for free, and what do they pay for? And is there an opportunity to change around what you charge for?
In many businesses, and in the creation of most products, there is waste. And in most cases, businesses pay to have this waste removed from their premises. Or there may be waste that the customer has to pay to have removed. But this doesn’t always have to be the case.
KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King, etc. used to have to pay to have their used fryer oil picked up, but now thanks to the rise of biodiesel they may even make money from this waste product.
Chicken processors used to throw the feet away after processing a truckload of chickens, but after they discovered that chicken feet are a delicacy in several Asian countries, they stopped throwing them away and instead started exporting them. In fact, chicken feet sell for more per pound than chicken breasts in China.
Broken OREO’s used to have no value before Cookies ‘n’ Cream ice cream (and now Cookies ‘n’ Cream OREO’s) were discovered.
And finally, I came across an example of a bottle cap concept created by designers from the Lanzhou University of Technology in China, intended to give poor children access to building blocks for play, from what was previously thrown away.
Data security and privacy is becoming an increasingly hot topic, and in the past companies would either ask customers for their data and not give them anything for it, or just not ask for it. But now we are seeing some interesting models of companies asking customers for data and instead giving them something of value in exchange. For example, Urban Outfitters rewards users that respond to promotions inside their mobile app or to users that allow its app to connect to their Twitter or Instagram accounts with points that can be redeemed for sale previews, concert tickets, or early access to new pieces. What data do you want from your customers? What is it worth to you? How could this exchange be made engaging and not be seen as a purely financial transaction?
Soft drinks… How many people out there think that the soft drink category is a blue ocean full of incredible opportunities for unbounded growth for established soft drink makers? Most people would say that this is a mature category and a tough place for companies, full of merciless competition. But yet, people continue to innovate and challenge this orthodoxy. Witness a couple of interesting new concepts.
Britain has always been a hotbed of innovation, and the country that brought us Pret a Manger and Innocent smoothies brings us this tasty treat. Mr. Sherick’s Shakes brings people a little bit of luxury to their day in the form of their high quality milkshakes.
Meanwhile in Japan, there is a growing trend manifesting in a wave of product launches in the soft drink category that are not cold, but instead hot. Witness this example of what has always been a cold drink, Ginger Ale, being brought into the Japanese market as a hot beverage by Coca Cola’s Canada Dry unit.
People always love something new and different, even if it is something old that has disappeared from the market. This is why fashion runs in cycles, and in a mature category like soft drinks there is no reason why we shouldn’t keep these principles in mind and see if now is the time to bring something back, or to see if there is an orthodoxy that we shouldn’t now look at challenging to see if an opportunity might not be created.
Innovation transforms the useful seeds of invention into widely adopted solutions valued above every existing alternative. Value comes not just from physical invention, or business model innovation, but from psychological and emotional benefits as well and the creation of new psychological or emotional value can happen in any industry at any point in time, no matter how mature the category seems to be. We as humans are strange creatures and we simultaneously fight against change (and hold back innovation as a result) and embrace new things (or at least like to try them). So challenge your patterns of accepted thinking to look for opportunity and work to overcome your beliefs that everything that could be done has been done in your industry.

The museum was established in 1938 by the United States Congress, with funds for construction and a substantial art collection donated by Andrew W. Mellon plus major art works donated by Lessing J. Rosenwald, Italian art contributions from Samuel Henry Kress, and more than 2,000 sculptures, paintings, pieces of decorative art, and porcelains from Joseph E. Widener. As a result of bequests such as these, the National Gallery today houses one of the finest collections of Western painting and sculpture in the world.

text: First part of Taiyo Park is the other side of it which is the Hakucho Castle. This castle (reproduction of Neuschwanstein Castle from Germany) is a building that becomes the main area of the park. The swan Castle (Hakucho-ji) of medieval European style was completed in 2008. There is a Welcome House Swan and then monorail which is included in the entrance fee. On the 3rd floor to 7th floor are the 3D-studios (anamorphic illusions) which grabbed my attention because this was my first time to play the illusions behind the magnificent arts.

Suddenly a short homely mockman entered the dining hall. It was female, dressed in the stiff uniform of a station worker.
Does stiff refer here to the fabric the uniform was made of, i.e. stiff fabric, or does it refer to the appearance of the uniform?
My interpretation is that the uniform restricts movement - it is the material and design that are stiff.

Today: Watch the Semi-Final Allocation Draw!
The 34 countries represented in the Semi-Finals will be drawn from five pots, based on voting patterns of last years as analyzed by the contest's voting partner Digame. By spreading these countries over two Semi-Finals, the impact of neighbour- and diaspora voting is limited and the contest more exciting.
Half of the countries will be drawn into the first Semi-Final (on the 25th of May), the other half into the second Semi-Final (on the 27th of May). As part of the draw, it will also be determined if those countries will perform in the first or second half of the respective Semi-Final, so that each delegation already knows this Sunday on which day they are expected in Oslo for the rehearsals in May.
There will also be a draw to decide which of the two Semi-Finals the so-called 'Big Four' (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) and host country Norway will be obliged to broadcast and vote in.
The next draw, to decide upon the starting order of the songs in each Semi-Final and the Final, will be conducted - as usual - at the Heads of Delegation meeting in March.
You can watch the draw live here on Eurovision.tv today on 14:00 CET and we are updating you live through our Twitter feed!

For well over a year now, Twitter has been an often-requested addition to our repertoire of services. As a user of the service I absolutely understand. The current base of Twitter clients often leave something to be desired, behave in a weird way, or just add an additional application you need to keep open.
Fear not! Using Matt Gemmell‘s MGTwitterEngine, a library used to communicate with the Twitter API, I’ve managed to make what I consider to be a very good Twitter client into Adium. Your friends (people you follow) are displayed in a group on the Contact List: adding or removing will follow or unfollow them, and chatting with them will send (or receive) direct messages. Note that you can only send a direct message to someone who follows you, so it might be a one-way conversation.
A group chat named “Timeline (username)” (you can rename it like I have above) will appear alongside your Twitter contacts. When new tweets arrive, this group chat will open; you can close it to help keep your place in the tweets, or leave it open and watch them arrive. Of course, the check interval is customizable (between never checking and checking every hour), and you can force an update through the chat’s context menu. There’s also an option to automatically update tweets when you send one.
When an incoming tweet is a reply to one of yours, the message style you are using will highlight the message for you. I’m going to be modifying all of the message styles included in Adium to support this (it’s been around for group chats since 1.3 was released, but not many have added it). You can also set an Event to fire when a reply comes in: display a growl notification, play a sound, whatever floats your boat!
You can get information on any of your Twitter contacts, and their biographical information (with links to friends, followers, and updates) and their latest 20 statuses will be loaded.
Next to every Tweet is a set of action links. “original” will go to the post which the tweet is replying to, “link” will go to the permanent link for the status, and the “reply” link will set up a reply like below. The “@” character next to the character count indicates that the Tweet you are sending is replying to a specific tweet.
My goal has been to integrate the service seamlessly into the Adium experience, and I think I’m meeting or exceeding my own expectations. However, I’m definitely open for suggestions which could go in before this is released. There’s still a few bugs to iron out, a few things to finish up, and a few new ideas which are bound to pop into my head. We also need to beat Twitter into submission about giving us a service identifier.
I’ve got a fun few ideas for ways Adium could save you time and effort, like automatically uploading images you insert into a message (like you would a direct IM on AIM) to Twitpic. This will largely depend on how much time and effort are available before Adum 1.4 is released (hopefully in the next few months we’ll see a beta!) and how many insane stints of programming I can slip in between now and then.
This looks great! Please keep us updated on progress and when it might be released. I actually don’t use IM’s that often anymore, save for the odd AIM or GTalk request, but I use twitter everyday. Right now I’m using Twhirl, because it’s free. But if I could combine twitter with IM’s, Adium would become my default client! That would definitely be worthy of a donation.
Wow.. so Awsome ! Can’t wait to give it a try.
Is there any chance of somehow syncing your tweets with your AIM, GTALK, MSN status messages?
Thank you thank you thank you. This looks fabulous, and is such a logical extension! No more choking on Adobe’s Air, or dealing with Twitterific’s ad’s – woot!
@Fabricio Zuardi – I haven’t decided what to go with. No matter what service(s) I choose, code is going to have to be written for all of them.
@akatsuki – I think you’re missing the point. Twitter is basically a large group chat; this is how I am treating it. If you don’t agree, don’t add a Twitter account. But try it out: I think you’ll enjoy it if you’re a Twitter user.
@SonyaLynn – My TODO definitely includes it; the problem is MGTwitterEngine doesn’t support it (yet) in a release version, and it’s not an XML outputted API so I would have to utilize a secondary parser. We’ll see; I want it myself.
@Dave Taylor – Skype just isn’t happening. There’s no need to ask. It’s an encrypted proprietary network with *0* third-party clients.
@Rui Carmo – I’ll take a look. Direct messages are private chats, though. Threaded.
@davidconnell – You can detach any group (right click – detach), or you can hide the Twitter contacts in 1.4.
@Ted Grubb – On the TODO list. It’s technically possible if you don’t enter it in the timeline chat, but I intend to do it a bit more properly.
One of the features that I loved about the Twitter IM while it last was, that I didn’t receive tweets from everyone I follow (3,500 +), but only from those that I’ve turned “Device Updates” on.
Will this functionality be in Adium 1.4?
Thanks for providing a great resource.
@KatLady – Honestly, it’s not worth the time. People will be straightened out over time.
@Evan Courtney – The functionality will (probably) not be in Adium 1.4. I am, however, interested in how well Adium would handle such a huge amount of follows. Be sure to keep us updated when 1.4 alpha/beta is released.
@Zac West – I will exceeded my allotted API limits fairly quickly, and will be unable to use this feature on Adium. I’ll try it out at the release though, and keep you posted.
You could have Adium set to update every 30 minutes and probably be okay.
Zac, are you saying that you take 15-20 requests to do a single timeline update??? Why such a huge number? /statuses/friends_timeline.xml is one request and should have everything you need in it.
@Tim Dorr – It will take 15-20 requests for someone with 3500 follows, I am guessing.
Would it be possible to create groups of friends like in TweetDeck?
For instance I follow a ton of news related twitterers whose chatter can often overwhelm my client so much that I miss tweets from my core group of friends. If there was a way to create a separate group chat window just for them it would be awesome.
Can’t come fast enough! it’s crazy that I like my iphone twitter app better than any desktop app available.
Once again, the best messaging client (not only in the Mac world) out there.
Great one, even if I don’t use Twitter.
Will you also port it/make it available for GAIM/Pidgin.. ??
Great news, looking forward to it!
– Is there support for multiple accounts?
– Check interval could be shorter than every hour, maybe somoething like every 5 minutes?
Hope I’m not to critical. This is really good news, I now already have 2 extra apps on my Mac for this sort of things.
Twitpic isn’t happening because I’m not willing to share the user’s credentials behind their back (let alone with OAuth it would be impossible to do so), even if they give permission it’s just not a good idea. I’ll look into mobypicture but it appears to require usernames and passwords as well.
It follows your normal sort rules; you could create a group for it, or move it around.

for well over a year now, twitter has been an often-requested addition to our repertoire of services. as a user of the service i absolutely understand. the current base of twitter clients often leave something to be desired, behave in a weird way, or just add an additional application you need to keep open.
fear not! using matt gemmell‘s mgtwitterengine, a library used to communicate with the twitter api, i’ve managed to make what i consider to be a very good twitter client into adium. your friends (people you follow) are displayed in a group on the contact list: adding or removing will follow or unfollow them, and chatting with them will send (or receive) direct messages. note that you can only send a direct message to someone who follows you, so it might be a one-way conversation.
a group chat named “timeline (username)” (you can rename it like i have above) will appear alongside your twitter contacts. when new tweets arrive, this group chat will open; you can close it to help keep your place in the tweets, or leave it open and watch them arrive. of course, the check interval is customizable (between never checking and checking every hour), and you can force an update through the chat’s context menu. there’s also an option to automatically update tweets when you send one.
when an incoming tweet is a reply to one of yours, the message style you are using will highlight the message for you. i’m going to be modifying all of the message styles included in adium to support this (it’s been around for group chats since 1.3 was released, but not many have added it). you can also set an event to fire when a reply comes in: display a growl notification, play a sound, whatever floats your boat!
you can get information on any of your twitter contacts, and their biographical information (with links to friends, followers, and updates) and their latest 20 statuses will be loaded.
next to every tweet is a set of action links. “original” will go to the post which the tweet is replying to, “link” will go to the permanent link for the status, and the “reply” link will set up a reply like below. the “@” character next to the character count indicates that the tweet you are sending is replying to a specific tweet.
my goal has been to integrate the service seamlessly into the adium experience, and i think i’m meeting or exceeding my own expectations. however, i’m definitely open for suggestions which could go in before this is released. there’s still a few bugs to iron out, a few things to finish up, and a few new ideas which are bound to pop into my head. we also need to beat twitter into submission about giving us a service identifier.
i’ve got a fun few ideas for ways adium could save you time and effort, like automatically uploading images you insert into a message (like you would a direct im on aim) to twitpic. this will largely depend on how much time and effort are available before adum 1.4 is released (hopefully in the next few months we’ll see a beta!) and how many insane stints of programming i can slip in between now and then.
this looks great! please keep us updated on progress and when it might be released. i actually don’t use im’s that often anymore, save for the odd aim or gtalk request, but i use twitter everyday. right now i’m using twhirl, because it’s free. but if i could combine twitter with im’s, adium would become my default client! that would definitely be worthy of a donation.
wow.. so awsome ! can’t wait to give it a try.

Tether, the company behind a dollar-pegged cryptocurrency widely used in the market’s exchange trade, is claiming that its systems have been hacked and that $30 million worth of its tokens have been stolen.
In a post on the project’s website (which has since been removed), Tether blamed a “malicious action by an external attacker” for the theft of $30,950,010 USDT yesterday. Originally launched as Realcoin and later rebranded, Tether aims to serve as a proxy for the US dollar that can be sent between exchanges, notably including Bitfinex, Poloniex and other markets without fiat trading.
In response, Tether said it would move swiftly to ensure these exchanges do not trade or otherwise introduce the stolen funds back into the cryptocurrency economy.
Notably, the company said that it is releasing a new version of the Omni Core software client (which Tether runs on top of) in a bid to effectively lock up the tokens it alleges were stolen. Should nodes in the network adopt the software, it would effectively blacklist the stolen address, enacting an emergency fork to contain the funds.
Representatives from the Omni Core software project said they would seek to release new software in the coming days that will allow Tether to retrieve the stolen tokens.
Observers online spotted the move earlier today, stoking speculation about the nature of the freeze.
“The tether.to back-end wallet service has been temporarily suspended. A thorough investigation on the cause of the attack is being undertaken to prevent similar actions in the future,” Tether wrote.
The announcement comes amid a period of growing discussion – and controversy – around Tether.
Under scrutiny has been the unclear relationship between Tether and the troubled British Virgin Islands-based bitcoin exchange Bitfinex – and long-standing allegations the exchange has been using the asset to engage in fraud and market manipulation. Complicating matters is that the two companies are said to share a common ownership, though details remain murky as to the exact nature of the connection.
As such, today’s hack claims are likely to further drive the controversy, which began following Bifinex’s hack last August, in which it lost more than $70 million in customer funds.
Following the news, other exchanges that offer order-book trading on Tether have taken steps to freeze trading, with China-based Huobi and OKCoin announcing the move shortly after the post.

PARIS (Reuters) - Rioters set fire to a bank and ransacked stores on Paris’s Champs Elysees avenue on Saturday, in a new flare-up of violence as France’s yellow vest protests against President Emmanuel Macron and his pro-business reforms entered a fourth month.
“I want us to very precisely analyze things and as quickly as possible take strong, complementary decisions so this doesn’t happen again,” he told ministers.
“They decided, perhaps as a swansong, to come attack - and I use their words - Paris,” Castaner said, adding that more than 1,400 police officers were mobilized.

Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings, together with the U.S. Navy and Mid-Atlantic Coatings Inc. (MAC), earned the SSPC (Society for Protective Coatings) Military Coatings Project Award of Excellence for their work on the George Washington aircraft (super) carrier.
For the second time in five years, Sherwin-Williams stood up to the task of overhauling a 1,000′ U.S. Navy aircraft carrier to ensure leading-edge performance. Using new coatings and technologies, innovative collaborations and environmentally sustainable solutions, the George Washington had a range of critical areas preserved and recoated, from topside to ballast tanks and interior fuel tanks.
The award-winning coating project was part of the George Washington’s multi-year midlife refueling and complex overhaul at the Huntington Ingalls Industries shipyard in Newport News, Va. The undertaking included preserving and coating the freeboard, main deck, topside and more than 100 interior tanks, along with prepping and maintaining the underwater hull surface. While the coatings project began in August 2017, development began more than two years earlier — reflecting the time and effort required to engineer and demonstrate new technologies, as well as new uses of existing coatings.
The award recognizes exceptional coatings work performed on U.S. military ships, structures or facilities. This year’s honorees were recognized Feb. 11, 2019, at the SSPC Coatings+ Conference in Orlando, Fla. Sherwin-Williams is a principal supplier of marine and MIL-SPEC coatings to the U.S. Navy and previously won this award in 2014 for a similar project involving the Navy’s Ronald Reagan super carrier.
SSPC named Schultz winner of the 2018-2019 John D. Keane Award of Merit at the Orlando conference. The award recognizes his 25 years of contributions to the development of the protective coatings industry and to SSPC.
The project used Sherwin Williams SeaGuard 5000HS Epoxy for the remaining 30 percent of the freeboard, with Sherwin-Williams Polysiloxane XLE-80 HAPS Free Epoxy Siloxane applied as a topcoat on the entire area. The Polysiloxane XLE-80 coating included a newly designed and approved Naval Research Lab low solar absorption (LSA) pigment package. This formulation enhances the paint’s signature “Navy Gray” color stability and reduces the solar temperature load on the vessel.
Within the ship, more than 100 tanks designed to hold ballast, chemicals, fuel, water and waste were also coated with Fast Clad ER, which offers long-term immersion service for up to 15 years. The coating marks another advancement for use on seafaring vessels.
Teams applied the coatings using plural-component sprayers and — in another innovative move — utilized cartridge technology from V.O. Baker Co. developed for plural-component materials. Cartridges provide precise measurements for dispensing, which helps reduce the chance of mixing errors and allows teams to work longer. More than 95% of the touchup and repair work following the initial spray application was completed exclusively with cartridges.
Vapor blasting was another part of the team’s efforts to find innovative ways to reduce the environmental impacts of the surface preparation work. Traditional sandblasting on an aircraft carrier creates massive amounts of waste and dust requiring containment and significant time-consuming clean-up; whereas vapor blasting cuts down on both, while providing a similar blast profile. In addition, the contractor was able to complete the second blasting stage — abrasive blasting — more quickly and with far less debris due to the first round of vapor blasting.
Utilizing a vapor blasting process also produced additional advantages for the coatings’ project. Working with water-powered pressure washers instead of gas-powered washers decreased fuel emissions, and the abrasive blasting process used recycled steel grit in the tanks. Additionally, slurry from the vapor blasting could be cleaned and recycled — further reducing waste.
The George Washington restoration project is an example of Sherwin-Williams’ unwavering commitment to improving the coatings selection and application techniques for the U.S. Navy, helping the organization enhance efficiencies, and realize life cycle improvements throughout its operations.

The “United Nations Conference on Climate Change” held in Paris, France focused on how countries can negotiate plans with each other to make more environmentally sound decisions and ultimately benefit the entire world.
Each year, progress is argued for at the conference between countries. New information is brought to the table about the environment and how we as humans can improve the world we live in. While government officials are currently looking at the world’s issues, there are plenty of everyday issues locally we as students can focus on.
In the Midwest it can sometimes seem like climate change isn’t an issue. This could be derived from a more conservative population and a generally high standard of living and environment quality. This ultimately leads to environmental progress sometimes making it here last. However, on campus you see you have the opportunity to recycle, to ride your bike to school and in the future, the University of Nebraska at Omaha will be a smoke-free campus.
Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the United States, and even with a high population, according to recycletogeth-er.com, every citizen has curbside recycling pickup.
While looking at what’s currently affecting the environment, the United Nations will be focusing on the emissions of greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas ultimately affects the overall climate of the world can lead to potential consequences both for the climate and one’s health.
The climate change summit has been a yearly occurrence for more than 20 years. The New York Times editorial board says in an article progress at the summit every year has been almost non-existent.
“Many follow-up meetings have been held since then, with little to show for them. Emissions of greenhouse gases have steadily risen, as have atmospheric temperatures, while the consequences of unchecked warming — persistent droughts, melting glaciers and ice caps, dying corals, a slow but inexorable sea level rise — have become ever more pronounced,” the article said.
In the Midwest, we are a classic example of not always helping the problem, with gas emissions from factory farms that produce food. According to SustainableTable. com, organizations working on the agriculture process are no longer allowing an excessive amount of animals to be processed.
As for the progress this year the outcome is anyone’s guess. According to a Wall Street Journal article, different countries are still arguing over the language in the proposed new emissions restrictions.
“Negotiators released a draft of an agreement on Saturday showing they have been unable to resolve major policy disputes, mainly between developing and developed nations. Large portions of the text are still surrounded by brackets (meaning there is still disagreement),” the article stated.
So what can you do as a student to help the environment?
You can conserve water, avoid using energy that’s not needed, recycle and most importantly, don’t be wasteful. While the easy way to live life is with a “me” mentality, the only way the world’s climate can improve is if we have a “we” mentality.

We are a couple in our early 50’s and we decided on a Segway tour of Berlin.
What a great experience it turned out to be, Jess our Aussie guide was fantastic and really knew her stuff. After a quick lesson we were off and let me assure you it’s not as hard as it looks and is great fun, if a little chilly. We were taken to all the major sites around the city and Jess recommended the ones she thought were worth coming back to during our trip to spend time at.
I would recommend doing this tour early on in your visit so that you have time to go back to the places you want to see in detail.
I would definitely recommend this company if you are going to Berlin.
Berlin is a great city for Segways and this tour was an awesome way to travel. Our guide Florencia was very informative and shared lots of information. The company offers a good choice of tour options and are reasonably priced.

FLY TIPPING: These items were left in this lay-by on the B3078 road between Wimborne and Cranborne.
NATURAL SOLUTION: Compost bins, like this one pictured in a house in Poole, can be bought or hand-made or can be just in the form of a heap.
RUBBISH DUMP: The landfill site at Beacon Hill, that serves the communities of Poole, Bournemouth and East Dorset.
ODD ONE OUT: Poole householder David Russell with his blue recycling bin and his green bin, which is a voluntary service for garden waste. Poole Borough Council is the only authority in Dorset that does not recycle food waste. Will their current policy on food waste have to change in the future?
CRACKING DOWN: Baroness Ros Scott of Needham Market, chairman of the House of Lord’s EU committee, who says’ buy one get one free’ deals should be scrapped as it encourages more food waste and tax incentives to ensure more unsold food is eaten.
AM I imagining it or does our litter problems and the food waste we generate across Dorset and Somerset seem to have taken a turn for the worse.
Everywhere one goes, the distressing site of seeing wasteland and green space used as a dumping ground for glass and plastic bottles, fast food packaging, sweet wrappers and plastic bags to name a few items carries on without much attention. Many of these are recyclable items that can be put into the blue bins of Poole Borough Council and the equivalent bins of neighbouring authorities.
Some of the pollution is being caused by people you would not think capable of doing it. I was waiting for a bus on finishing work on the main route from Bournemouth to Poole. Two well-turned out teenage girls approached the bus shelter with coke cans in hand.
I heard them chattering that and they weren’t prepared to wait for the next M1 Poole to Bournemouth bus but it was actually less than 10 minutes wait. Within a few minutes, there was silence and I turned round to find both the cans left on the bus shelter bench. The sad indictment was that they weren’t prepared to take their rubbish with them as it was somebody else’s problem.
It’s not just urban areas that are affected. I’ve found items chucked from cars in hedges near places such as Corfe Castle and the New Forest. Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty status and National Park status are what these two places fall into in terms of landscape designations.
It is best to keep those designations than lose them. Land managers have their role in clearing up rubbish when they come across it but the wider public has the lion’s share of responsibility in taking their rubbish with them or finding a bin to put it in.
When I worked for The Western Gazette a few years ago in Yeovil I volunteered to go over the Carymoor Environmental Centre at Dimmer, Castle Cary, to find out what environmental and recycling projects that they were involved in.
One fact that stuck in my mind was when one of their staff revealed a giant hole the size of six football pitches serving South Somerset and Mendip at the Dimmer landfill site would only take three years to fill.
To be frank to those reading this, it is costing us £8 on annual basis for every ton of landfill being generated. In April the cost had risen up to £80 a ton. The more waste that can be recycled, then more money can be made available for other council services.
Food waste need not be a problem that remains unresolved. Poole Borough Council does not recycle food waste. Methods that are effective include wormeries, compost bins and food digesters. Food digesters can take any kind of household food waste, including fish bones and meat remains.
But across the area where Dorset Waste Partnership operates (Christchurch, West Dorset, Portland and Weymouth, North Dorset, east Dorset, Purbeck), most households have a larger food waste container kept outside and a smaller slop bucket that is kept in the kitchen to fill it up with.
The new containers have vents to combat putrid smells generated from food waste and a container lid that has a special way of being opened and which is said to be a deterrent to scavengers like foxes.
Dorset Waste Partnership has information in detail about what materials are recycled at different landfill sites and recycling centres and where the materials are sent and what happens to them, and it may go some way to dispel some myths perpetuated by some cynics that the vast majority of material is not being recycled.
An environment consultancy recently said that you can’t change the habits of consumers using supermarkets, and this would have no tangible effect in the amount of waste generated. However it has recently been revealed by the House of Lords European Union committee that Britain contributes £15M of food waste out of an EU total of £90M and that is the equivalent of £60 per UK household each month and one pound in every six pounds of EU food waste.
They also seem to disagree that changing the way we shop slightly would not adversely effect the amount of waste we generate. Really, well Baroness Ros Scott of Needham Market, chairman of the House of Lords EU committee, agrees to differ, particularly singling out Buy One Get One Free (BOGOF) deals. I imagine she knows what she is talking about.
Speaking to a national newspaper, she said: “There is much that can be done domestically, and in particular by the big retailers, to cut waste. We are urging supermarkets to look again at offers such as ‘BOGOF’ which encourages excess consumption that leads to food waste.
“We also think supermarkets should work much more closely with their suppliers so as not to cancel pre-ordered food which has been grown, is perfectly edible, and is then ploughed straight back into the field.
