Hello, I’m Adam Nakash and I am an Ophthalmic Optician with over 25 years experience. During my career I have worked in a wide range of eye care environments from hospital eye clinics through to high street chains in Australia and the UK.
Many people can nd it dif cult to attend high street Opticians, whether this is due to mobility dif culties or simply due to the time restraints of a busy hectic life. If this is the case with you then why not let me bring my clinic to you!
I am often asked if it is really possible to have a full eye test in your own home. The answer is yes! With the latest portable equipment it really is possible – all I need you to supply is a chair!
For a hassle free, relaxed eye care experience in the comfort of your own home or workplace, or just to nd out more, why not give me a call on 07711 272 941 or email me at adamnakash@gmail.com
use. The supposed path has been diverted over the years and ownership of Doff’s Field has changed hands a number of times since Dorothy ‘Doff’ Kitchener passed away. The inspector decided that status of the route was brought into question in 2002 with the first change of ownership so decided to examine the claimed public use for the 20 year period from 1982 to 2002. MKC produced written evidence from 59 Olney residents supporting the claim that they had enjoyed uninterrupted access along the route, some from as far back as 1938. However, none of them were called to give evidence in person to the enquiry. Olney Rugby Football Club were the objectors to the order and their Counsel called nine witnesses to appear in person to support the assertion that a post and wire fence and a five-bar gate with barbed wire along the top were in place during that period which would have required forcible entry to the field. As none of the supporters were present to answer questions under cross examination the inspector concluded that their evidence was outweighed by that delivered verbally at the enquiry and concluded that the order should not be confirmed.
This was obviously a great disappointment to OTC and Ward Councillor Peter Geary
said they needed to learn from the mistakes that had been made but there was no appeal against the decision. Steve Clark suggested that representatives of the Rugby Club be asked to state the clubs reason for the objection at the next Joint User Group meeting.
Merchant Navy Day
The council have received a letter from Seafarers UK informing them that September 3rd is Merchant Navy Day in recognition of the sacrifices made during the two World Wars, but also the vital part that the Merchant Navy plays in modern day commerce. OTC has agreed to purchase two Red Ensign flags to be flown in the Market Place and Olney Centre on September 3rd.
Odds and Sods
Due to the recent heavy rain, work has had to stop on repair of the bathing steps, but a temporary platform was put in place for the Riverfest raft race. Work will recommence soon.
Councillors had been invited to a presentation by Charles Wells to show off their plans for the revamped Bull, following the recent fire. All
were very impressed and a public exhibition is due to be held at the end of July. Peter Geary noted that the work would probably not start until the New Year, due to the complex planning requirements of a listed building. The street lamps in the High Street have reached the end of their life and need replacing. It is likely that they will be replaced with standard galvanised columns.
Colin Rodden noted that the previous days Riverfest had been a huge success and thanked those involved in the organisation. Martine Stoffels suggested the use of digital signs at the entrance of the town to prevent some of the fly posting which currently takes place for local events. The Recs and Services committee will consider.
Assistant Town Clerk Debbie Eason will henceforth be known as the Deputy Town Clerk
The next meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Monday 5th September in the Council Chamber in the Olney Centre. Members of the public are always welcome to attend and, if they wish, speak at the start of the meeting, or at any point that the mayor decides is appropriate.
