PlayGym sessions incorporate simple gymnastics style exercises for toddlers and young children. According to the organisers, “Research has shown that movement and exercise are both beneficial for children and and that having the opportunity to take part in organised sessions which are tailored to the child’s individual age and stage of development, can have positive benefits on their learning and development”

Front Street
Cartridge World, who had a high street presence in Acomb for over 15 years, closed for the final time yesterday. The business is moving “on line” with future orders being serviced from their Harrogate office.
The franchised store specialised in recycling ink and toner cartridges providing a significant discount on the new price. At one point the business had three branches in York.
Ironically the company blames “on line” ordering for the demise of its local shops. Several companies offer “next day” delivery for cartridges ordered via the internet.
It is unclear whether this decision and others like it, will reduce the proportion of cartridges reused. A return to the “use and jettison” days would be a step backward for the environment.
Future ordering details can be found at www.cartridgeworld.co.uk
Cllr Sheena Jackson points out a bed which was dumped overnight. The use fo portable CCTV cameras at fly tipping locations is being considered. A recent court case in west York resulted in fines of £600 being levied to a fly-tipper.
