Have they actually had enforcement over the tree though? That’s a separate, much more significant issueCar dealership on old Frankie and Benny's site faces council enforcement action

Called in tonight and had the Pad Thai and Thai Green curry. Huge portions and absolutely delicious.
The menu is limited but they explained that they didn't like wasting food.
They said that they're usually open on First Avenue on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays then do venues on Fridays and over the weekend.
Opening hours and that day's menu are on Facebook but I don't use it so can't confirm.

Boris & Barbara on Eastgate Street closed on the 18th November to go online only, but it looks like Monica has changed her mind and the shop is reopening on the 29th November.

The Gym Group gym next to TK Maxx was due to open at midday today, not 100% if it has as the app says no one is in there, but it might be slow updating. I had a look around last week and it looked OK, good range of apparatus and I will give it at least a month to see if it is for me, me being lardy and that.

I was going to look at joining in the new year depending on reviews. I would join sooner but I realised I'm really busy in December.

The new restaurant – which is KFC’s first little drive-thru in the UK – has opened at the Beacon Business Park in Weston Road.
It has created around 35 new jobs and the fast food giant is still welcoming applications from those keen to join the team.
Acky Khan, chairman and CEO, gastronomy restaurants said: “We’re delighted to be able to open our second restaurant in Stafford, a town we love, providing the area with more of their favourite fried chicken.
"It's been particularly exciting to innovate with our new little-drive thru design, which we hope you’ll love.
"We want to thank everyone that’s helped make the restaurant a reality, and we can’t wait to welcome people through the doors.”
Earlier this year, KFC expanded its new employability programme, Hatch, to the region, helping over 100 young people who have faced barriers to employment to build their work skills, confidence and get their first job.
The new little drive-thru model was designed, constructed and deployed by manufacturer Modular 500 under instruction from the developer, Espleys and with the design support and input from project managers, Bladon & Kirkham and architect consultancy, Franks Belshaws.

Even if they're mainly part timers I can't see how 35 staff are needed at a "little" takeaway like that.New KFC drive-thru restaurant opens in Stafford creating 35 jobs
