"How I See The World in 2050" by Eve, aged 11
Greed,
Dear reader,
Expect what you read to come and bite back,
Unless you curb your greedy appetitie,
From planet killers that are used so abundantly.
A muddy sheet of yellowy brown sky covers what`s above my head,
Echoing along the ground a solitary can clatters the only sound to meet my ears,
A chilling wind sweeps effortlessly, whistling and wailing like a crying child.
Is this all that`s left of the world I stand upon?
Of the animals that roamed freely?
Of all mankind that call this planet home?
Of the inventions so cleverly crafted?
Is this all that`s left?
I feel as if my heart has been torn from my chest,
Sadness eats up what`s inside me,
Like pollution did to our planet earth,
They warned us severely,
But we ignored and carried on our faults,
And our dear world crumbled like a biscuit,
Unable to cope with our innumerable mistakes,
It disintegrated to what it is now.
So I hope I have warned you of the horrific happenings to come,
As for you they are preventable,
But now for us, all I can say,
Ignorance killed our planet earth.

Footpath across the recreation ground and tree planting - update
The new the footpath and car park resurfacing have now been completed and the recreation ground is now much more accessible.
Later this year (hopefully in March) a number of trees will be planted by the Parks and Countryside section of the City Council during February to replace those damaged during the recent drainage work and to fill some of the bare spots on the Rec.
Dore Village Society would like to thank all those involved in the works and will continue to monitor this project and offer top up support with its own funds where appropriate.
Residents can help maintain the integrity of the new footpath by reporting immediately any unauthorised vehicles on the Rec to the police using the 101 number and describing those involved – but don’t approach them.
