Couple of updates about nothing much

* We're told the pizza/med food place next to Tescos will be open in 1-2 weeks.

* There was some activity in what used to be Miros/Whytes

* Lots seems to be going on at what might be The Brasserie on Station Terrace

Anything else to report?

i have a query - does anybody know what the old church type building on wrentham avenue/ tiverton road was or is going to be? its been being renovated for as long as i can remember - there's still a tower of sorts... a mosque?, a church, another branch of tesco? any ideas?

That's the infamous 'Tiverton tower', or something like that, which there was a campaign to stop building, or at least stop building so high. Which I think failed but I don't know much about it - I think it's a mosque/islamic centre of some sort.

Sorry for being a bit unsavoury but has anyone noticed how much dog dirt there is on our streets recently?

I've been working away for 6 months and came back the other week, went for a stroll in the morning and couldn't believe it.

I then went on a little trip to Paris and the pavements there were cleaner than ours!

What's happened since I've been away?

I think you're right Matthew, the 'Tiverton tower' is an islamic cultural centre - funded by Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) I believe.

Been a 'work in progress' for years though!

Brasserie is now open. Does breakfasts, soups, steak sandwiches etc... What I could see when I walked past. Looks nice.

Met the owner of Number 8, Brian. Really nice fella. The food looks good and prices reasonable. £2.50 plus for a glass of wine. Will defo give it a go.

Yes, there is a lot of dog poo, and the roads are often strewn with litter.
Has anyone noticed the local street sweeper is a bit of a slacker?
Whenever I see him he's standing around listening to his ipod not doing a lot. I don't blame him. Sweeping the streets must get dull after a while.
