Stidybasa

I have had a bit of a crack at tidying up the events page on www.stibasa.org.uk. The new regular events page has now gone, as I didn't need a separate page now that most events are on meetup.com/hubbub. I hope it's a bit easier to use now!

Parks Events

Not a very handy format for on line use but there's a list of LBBD parks events - many active - here:

State of our streets awards

Living Streets, the charity that campaigns for more walking, is holding its ''State of our streets awards". You can submit as many entries of the best and worst examples of streets you use. You need to upload a still or video image of the street, and an explanation of why you are nominating it.

Go to www.livingstreets.org.uk/sosawards for more details. The closing date is 2 November.

Orange bags and brown bins

As Barking & Dagenham Council changes its arrangements for recycling (for houses) again, there is again talk of what to do with all the orange bags that many people have accumulated large quantities of.

A young woman who was visiting properties on behalf of the counci about the new (brown) recycling bins said that the orange bags could continue to be used for recycling. Barking & Dagenham Council said (on Facebook) that unused orange bags may be handed in at any of the borough's public libraries.

I have read and re-read this information, with my rail map by my side, but am still having problems understanding some of it. Rather than just explaining the revised service pattern (rather opaquely), why don't they refer people to a journey planner and suggest they replan their journey?
