Kenilworth Town Council provides long term financial backing for the takeover of the Kenilworth Youth and Community Centre

At the Kenilworth Town Council meeting on Thursday 20 October there was unanimous support by Councillors for the Town Council to provide funding of between £30 - 40k per year for the next three years to The Kenilworth Centre, a new charity, which is in negotiation with Warwickshire County Council to take over the running of the centre, and provide youth activities in Kenilworth. 

Councillor Norman Vincett, leader of Kenilworth Town Council, said, 'We see youth activities, and the community centre, as key to our community and the Council felt that it was essential that we should provide this financial support to ensure that the transfer to a Kenilworth based charity happens.'

g+ YouTube Movie Rentals

Mike Downes  -  Oct 23, 2011  -  Public

Online Movie Rentals Has anyone used this service yet from YouTube? And if so, will it see the end of our friendly neighbourhood DVD rental shop?

For the record, I've used LoveFilm and cancelled it a few days in as found the website clunky, ill loading and that was before I even sat through a poor quality film. The BBC iPlayer is great, but rarely gives any mainstream movies.

YouTube rolls out movie rentals in the UK

YouTube has launched its own movie rental service featuring over a thousand feature films for users in the UK. Among the blockbuster titles featured are British classics like Monty Python’s The Meanin...

Myko Clelland  -  I can't find any reference to the quality of the videos anywhere - anyone able to help me out?

jane cerva  -  Um, you still have a friendly neighborhood DVD rental shop?

Oct 25, 2011   

tony brookes  -  I find Blockbuster sending me DVD's each month to be a good deal. The stores are fine but you have far more scope to find the films you need at the online site. I had Lovefilm before but the choice and after-sales are best forgotten

g+ Skate Park

Mike Downes  -  Oct 23, 2011  -  Public

On a local level, Kenilworth has a Skate Park with new flood lights. What's inspiring - it was all made possible by the young people to organise, promote and liaise with the local authority - Well Done.

Castle Farm Skate Park welcomes the Lights - Kenilworth, Warwickshire

Jim Marsh  -  Good on those kids. Could we borrow a few for Kiddermister?

Gary Tivey  -  We have a skateboard park close-by . Seems to be a good spot for the younger crowd to hang out, and share some healthy activities. They are also into photography and multimedia which also helps their creativity. 'Skateboarding is not a Crime'
Thanks +Mike Downes

guirong zhou  -  Well, IMO while this movement voices some rightful concerns about capitalism, it may lack a clear guideline for change. Something along the lines of "financial justice"?
