in principle by the Development Applications Board.

The plans concern a food preparation and dispatch area for the service on South Shore Road in Paget.

The board will only give final approval when they have studied the finalised plans.

An application by Gamenta Ltd. to build five townhouses and a swimming pool in Paddock Drive, Warwick, has also received planning permission, subject to further approval by the board.

DAB REJECTS MILLS CREEK ROAD PLAN PLN The Development Applications Board has rejected a plan to build an access road in Mills Creek, Pembroke because it could damage mangroves in the area.

But the DAB told Correia & Coelho consideration would be given to a road "widened to 13 to 14 feet which will not encroach upon the mangroves''.

The DAB also gave the company permission for a ten-foot access road to the same Mills Creek lot.

NURSERY PLANNED PLN A new children's day care centre will soon be opening in Somerset if plans go ahead. The centre, in a hall at Somerset Seventh-Day Adventist Church, would care for up to 40 children full time and 30 after school, if the application to the Development Applications Board is approved.

It is being planned by child minder Mrs. Pattijean Roberts, of Woodlawn Road.

Mrs. Roberts said it would be independent of the church, of which she is a member.

Full-time children would be aged up to four, while five to 12-year-olds would attend after school and during holidays.

A maximum capacity of 40 is being sought so parents can drop in children temporarily, she said.

Mrs. Roberts said the centre would emphasise teaching independence, learning through play, nature education and smoothing the transition between home and school.

CAMERA STOLEN CRM A St. George's man who parked his car on Queen Street in Hamilton just after 1 a.m. yesterday found the front passenger window smashed when he returned to the vehicle half an hour later.

UNAWARE OF CODE CTS A 17-year-old motorcyclist told a magistrate he knew nothing about the traffic code governing Bermuda's roads.

Garage apprentice Ormon Smith was seen by Police overtaking a car on the left on Front Street. He admitted careless riding and was fined $200.

Senior magistrate the Wor. Will Francis asked if he had read the traffic code, which tells road-users to overtake on the right.

"I don't know about a traffic code,'' said Smith, of Khyber Pass, Warwick, who was on his way to work on February 23 when he was stopped. All the cars had stopped at a red light, he said.

Mr. Francis said a lot of people overtook on the left. "It's happening to me all the time. I'm about to move off from the stop sign and someone comes by me on the left trying to beat me.

"I'm tired of saying from this bench that one of these days someone's going to get killed.

"There's people on the road these days who have never even heard of the traffic code.

"I don't know what's happening. It should be part of civics lessons.''
