Change4Life and Disney are partnering on a major new campaign – 10 Minute Shake Up – to help encourage the city’s children to get active this summer.
The 10 Minute Shake Up campaign uses a bit of Disney magic to inspire children to reach the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity per day, with fun, manageable 10 minute bursts of exercise with an aim of getting children across the country moving for an extra 100 million minutes this summer.

Yet more changes to the planning permission granted for the erection of houses on the former Our Lady’s school site on Hob Moor have been submitted. It is the third change, to the conditions imposed by the Planning Committee, requested by the developers in little over 1 month. The letters issued to neighbours who objected to the original – very controversial – plan are opaque with only a very limited time available in which to raise objections. All in all, it is not a satisfactory way of dealing with genuine concerns.

The new equipment for Marygate has apparently has cost £100,000.
The reliability record of this type of system is also patchy
There are some big questions to be answered about value for money with residents discount Minster Badges now costing £20. .
Apparently the facility to pay by charge/credit card (or phone) will be withdrawn. Not clear whether it is a “no change given” machine. Assume it will accept notes!!
NB. Will charges apply in the evening? How will badge holders exit without paying?
