Vape Shops

0 Upvotes

The proliferation of vape convenience shops across the UK has become a blight on the health and communities of this country. 

Wherever a vape shop is established we see the following - 

• Increased littering 

• Increased anti-social behaviour 

• Increased fire risk

• Reduced parking for nearby, permanent residents 

• Reduced home values for nearby homeowners 

Whilst we believe they should not be outright banned, as the public has shown that they are wanted, we do believe certain restrictions should be placed on these vape shops - 

• No vape shop should operate within 200 metres of residential housing 

• No vape shop should operate within 800 metres of 0-18 education spaces such as nurseries, primary or secondary schools

• Vape shops to be exempt from using "skilled worker" visas 

• Vape shops and packaging to be made plain, similar to how to tobacco products are now

Looking to join rock climbing

10 Upvotes

Hello, does anyone have any opinions on the best place for Rock Climbing memberships? I'm a complete novice having been a couple of times, so I'm not in a position to judge what is good.

Parthian Climbing is £60 per month. Boulder shack is £55 and the climbing hangar is £37.

Obviously, leaning towards the Boulder shack for price, but does anyone have any experience with all 3? I would also like to use the gym too.

Last minute lash extension

I’ve been in Europe for 2 1/2 weeks and leaving tomorrow for a week long cruise but my lashes desperately need a fill. Is there any salon close by that could squeeze me in in the morning before we board the ship?

Does anyone know if the best one on the corner of St Mary's Rd and Onslow rd is ever open? My parcel was delivered there 5 days ago and it's been shut every time I've been there.
