Amazed to hear them mention S106 in the first episode
The housing aspects of these documents are basically my job!
And today was my first day in work since September 29th, the day I got the call
about Dad.

S106 of the Town and Country Planning Act covers the circumstances where an authority can seek contributions on a development.
A document agreed under this - usually known as a 'S106' - outlines what the development has to provide in terms of highways, affordable housing, open space
and recreation, education, health, and any other obligations. The longest one I
ever did, back in 2015 for a scheme that may not complete before I retire in 2046, approached 500 pages and required an amazing amount of things - for a new
suburb to an existing town. The thing that always amazes people is how little
health ask for - they only ask for capital funding as the revenue funding travels with the patient.
And today was my first day in work since September 29th, the day I got the >>> call about Dad.

been a bit quiet. Been a bit all over the place really. Still so much to do,
house in Glamorgan so haven't been able to visit to start clearing - when we're
in a usable tier they aren't and vice versa - haven't even collected the ashes yet.

Ah. I bet Ray won't be providing much of any of that!

mentioned on here, lost him and Mum in 12 days in the autumn. That's why
I've been a bit quiet. Been a bit all over the place really. Still so
much to do, house in Glamorgan so haven't been able to visit to start

So sorry to hear that - what a horrible autumn you have had. Not
surprising you are knocked for six. All that stuff takes time even when
you can do it, must be dreadful not knowing when you will be able to sort things. I can imagine what you are going through, considerably worse than
we had back in 2008 when my mother-in-law died, then my father. And they
were at least in the same town.

Thanks, yes it's been pretty rough. Was expecting to lose Mum - she'd been ill
for a long time - but Dad was a horrendous shock.

Are you the only child James? This all happening this past year is doubly awful.

Only son of an only son. Mum had a brother but they were estranged, although we
are now in limited contact. They didn't come to the funeral but watched the video cast I arranged.
I have reconnected with some of her cousins that I remember from my childhood -
quite a shock that they are at retirement age, and their children who I remember
as toddlers are qualified teachers and one is a head of year! They've sent me
some photo scans - their parents had a shop in inner city Liverpool, whereas Mum
grew up on Deeside, so they spent a lot of summer holidays together. You couldn't exactly shut up a newsagents for 2 wks... and Prestatyn was a 1/6 bus
ride away from Flint.
So I now have more photos of my grandfather, whom I never knew, than I have ever
seen - he was camera shy, but cousin Alan was such a shutterbug he managed to get him a few times! They've also sent me scans of colour photos of my parents
wedding - original colour not colourised - must have been a significant expense
for a trainee teacher in 1971 - but they are the only colour photos of the wedding I've ever seen. Only 3 taken outside the reception venue - Mum, Dad,
her brother and parents in one, just Mum and Dad in the 2nd, and the decorated
car (Austin Farina) in the 3rd.
