Calne Needs:
*A better selection of shops
*Phelps Parade modernised (it always looks so dingy)
*People to stop smashing windows in the town
*A proper youth centre which caters for all age groups (from babies to late teens)
*To be a stronger community
Calne can do without:
*So many bloody takeaways
*Dossers who just hang around town all day either outside Sainsburys, the Chip Shop or on the Pigs waiting for the pubs to open/collect their benefits
*All the litter that is lying around on the floor (aren't children taught how to put rubbish in the bins provided anymore???)
*The Big Head - it seems a bit pointless, I know it is suppose to represent Calne looking to the future or something like that but Calne still has one foot stuck in the past)
*People chucking trolleys in the river - WHAT IS THE POINT!!! it doesn't achieve anything

| Makes me laugh this thing about roads. As roads progressed, they made them wider to make them safer (less head on collisions) now they make them narrower to make them safer. (People slow down to avoid head on collisions). There is a road around these parts that I have actually seen widened then narrowed again in a space of 10 year's, but I cant think where it is now. |
