DUMFRIES TOWN BANDSTAND
I made this film to show the people of Dumfries the terrible state of
our towns bandstand that sits within the Dock Park. The question is why has this once fine cast iron bandstand been allowed to deteriorate to this sorry state. The park itself has also been allowed to fall into disrepair yet there is still signage advertising various activities that are no longer there. Does anyone know the answer to the questions and why the bandstand is almost beyond repair. DRSVIDEOCLIPS 2012.

What Dumfries has to endure. DRSvideoclips.
A film about the town of Dumfries, the largest town in southwest Scotland, united kingdom. The film shows what the people of Dumfries have to go through when Dumfries gets flooded. There have been 90 flooding events since 1990. This flooding as you will see causes many problems for its people and emergency services. Alas nothing has been done to solve this continual flooding of Southwest Scotlands capital town.

Places to see in ( Goodwick - UK )
Places to see in ( Goodwick - UK )
Goodwick is a coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales, immediately west of its twin town of Fishguard. The coasts of Wales were subjected to Norse raids during the Viking Era and, in the latter 10th century, Norse trading posts and settlements became established. The place name probably derives from a combination of the old Norse forms: góðr (good) and vik (bay or cove) giving góðrvik.
Compare formation with Reykjavík (Smoking Bay) where reykr = 'smoke'.[1] However the South East facing hillside of Goodwick is sheltered from prevailing and salty SW winds and therefore naturally well tree-covered compared with the exposed headland above and the wet land of the bay. Many older developments in Goodwick have the name 'Goedwig' meaning forest - Goedwig Terrace, Villas, Chapel etc. Thus an alternative explanation for the name may be that it was Goedwig and Goorvik may just have been a happy coincidence for the invaders.
Goodwick was a small fishing village in the parish of Llanwnda, but in 1887 work commenced on a railway connection and harbour, and the village grew rapidly to service this. The main industry is now tourism although in the town's industrial past brick making was once an important industry. Some fishing still takes place on a small scale but most activity is centered on Milford Haven. The local beach, Goodwick Sands, is where the defeated French invasion force assembled prior to their unconditional surrender on 24 February 1797.
The harbour was constructed by blasting 1.6 million tonnes of rock from the hillside to make a 900 m long breakwater. The quarried-out area became the quay. The harbour was finally opened on 30 August 1906. Planned to be the end of the Great Western Railway's line and its major sea port, replacing Neyland, problems with the harbour (known as Fishguard Harbour) prevented larger ocean liners from docking. Accordingly, the harbour has a smaller inner breakwater protecting the remaining open side.
In October 2011 plans for Fishguard & Goodwick Marina were revealed in the Western Telegraph. The developers Conygar who hope to invest £100 million into the project have submitted plans to Pembrokeshire County Council for a 450 berth marina, 253 new residential flats and a 19-acre platform for the potential expansion of the existing Stena Line port. The scheme would also create a publicly accessible promenade and waterfront, and visitor parking as well as workshops, stores and ancillary facilities. If approved most of the proposed new developments will be sited by reclaiming land from the sea bed within the two existing breakwaters mainly near the current 'Ocean Lab' and alongside the existing ferry terminal access roads. Conygar have also exchanged contracts to acquire an eleven-acre site for a lorry stop and distribution park on the perimeter of the Stena Line owned port.
Fishguard & Goodwick railway station served local rail travellers from the town, and from nearby Fishguard, until the line was effectively closed to such passengers by the reduction in service to boat trains only in 1964. After this, trains only served Fishguard Harbour and the station fell into disrepair. Following investment from Network Rail and Pembrokeshire County Council the station has now been re-built and was reopened for passengers again, on 14 May 2012. It is served by the boat trains and the newly introduced local trains.

THE STATE OF OUR WHITESANDS DUMFRIES SCOTLAND
This film has been made to show the people of Dumfries and beyond what our Whitesands in Dumfries is like. The Whitesands area in Dumfries is where the river Nith flows through the centre of the town. There is a very ancient and iconic bridge that has spanned the river for hundreds of years. This is the area of the town that most visitors come to view the river the ancient bridge and the caul that the river flows over . It is also the area where our towns car parks are situated right next to the river and a short walk to the town centre. As you will see in the film it is very run down and requires a major clean up. The local council want to see more tourists visit our town and when they do they are confronted with the area being run down. As you will see it is not by litter as the bins are bursting at the seams. I would hope that the local council if they view this film they will act upon what the film shows.The council have recently employed more consultants to see what can be done to improve the town centre. The river and the Whitesands should certainly be high priority as this is the place most visitors view first as they will probably park their vehicles on the Whitesands. The council want to build earth bankings on the whitesands and high walls and tear the steps off our ancient Devorgilla bridge to make way for their earth bunds as part of their idea of a flood defence system for the town. Dumfries has four councillors that cover the town centre and the Whitesands. Thousand of people have signed a petition that don't want earth bunds within the centre of Dumfries. So if you would like to see the Whitesands cleaned up you can contact them. The general e mail address for the council is as follows cis@dumgal.gov.uk. you can also contact your local members of Parliament at their Dumfries offices,
Thank you for watching the film. I realise that it shows this area of the town in poor light, but we believe the people have the right to see this and how the area has been left to deteriorate to what you see in the film.
