Lioncolnshire closing Libraries
So Lincolnshire is to close many Libraries to save money. People cry "No!"
But really who uses the Libraries any more? They are very poor have you been to one lately?
Sutton on -sea or Mablethorpe - where are all the books.
Mostly you have to order books that don't even come to Sutton - you have to go to Skegness to get them.
Then the "Consultation" they had it in Louth - when most resident s are in Sutton/Trusthorpe etc.
How do you get to Louth for a consultation? No Late buses or use your car 30mile round trip, 1 hour travelling. They said it was to accommodate the numbers. What about the Dunes or the Church halls they can get 60/70 in.
County Council not really trying as usual - a done deed I say. As usual Ignore the coastal communities, Lincoln's alright!
Anyway I agree. Close the Library - its not open when I can get as I work all week.
What I want is on-line if I want. Download from Amazon to my kindle etc.
Why can't the Libraries be a "Download service"? Books subsidised on a 1 month expiry time - they self destrct after 1 month - it can be done.

1953 Floods on Lincolnshire Coast
So today is the 60th anniversary of the disastrous floods on the Lincolnshire and the whole East Coast of England - January 31st 1953.
Let us remember the ones who died - 42 in Lincolnshire, I think over 1300 in Holland and Belgium, over 300 in England in total. Regardless of Global Warming lets remember the awful power of nature.
Unfortunately this area of Lincolnshire is now one of the most deprived in Europe. It has a demographic population of over 55s much greater than average and also because of low incomes there are a greater number in fuel poverty.
It seems the Government and council are unwilling to help because of the "Flood Risk". I can see that they don't want to put more people at risk but there are alternative arguments.
What should we do - just evacuate all the people and turn it into a no-mans land?
It seems there are Wind Farm builders Queuing up to build their Wind Turbines - I know they can be built in the sea, there are hundreds off shore at the moment, but do they really want to put them on land that will flood? Or should we let them - the price being to beef up the sea defences for the Locals?
Its a choice to be made.
Alternatively with land so cheap etc. why can't other industries be attracted? After all we've seen in the last couple of years there are parts of the inland country that are prone to floods where it was previously unheard of. Weigh that one up - Environment Agency.
