it's whitehall's in the year 2019 was another boom year we handled a total of around $3600000000.00 parcels and that's $19000000.00 a day at the christmas peak in 4 days that would be enough to stretch from the north to the self the poles and the poor. the euphoria isn't exactly reflected in the queues at the parcel collection stations as if it was delivered to the shop the day before yesterday and now today after i stood in line for an hour they tell me it's not here they just can't cope with the volume of what's a few script of there's no system sometimes it's delivered here sometimes just dropped off there or somewhere else again each time you have to look all over the place but the cheek of it when you're waited at home and they say they couldn't reach you it's an outreach. the road to christmas can be rocky and everyone would like to find solutions to this chaos so how to get so many parcels to their recipients their good decision is a hero different possibilities autonomous driving might be a solution but also underground traffic don't work so drones in more remote areas and seems the

christmas can be rocky and everyone would like to find solutions to this chaos so how to get so many parcels to their recipients their good decision is off they're all different possibilities autonomous driving might be a solution but also underground traffic networks or drones in more remote areas and seems there's no limit to what people can wish for christmas. on a processor works part time as a hopeful christmas elf she knows a lot about customer wishes they reflect current anxieties. there is climate recently there is demand for books about climate i think that's cool but also conscious cooking and sustainability not how to sky it seems like the checkout counter is groaning under the weight of gift wrapped tomes exhorting more moderate consumption. and there is no such thing as moderate consumption in the united states this year holiday shoppers spent $34000000000.00 last saturday i alone a spending record that caps off an eventful year for both the u.s. economy and the stock markets. what a difference a year makes christmas eve 2018 the markets tanked blue chips were down by a good 650

a financial interest in or parcels of land has a financial interest in but their shareholders for.you would check to see, for that parcel of land, are there any on going city processes that constitute a lapped-use matter. the best way to do that is to use the planning department planning information map, call up the address of the parcel, that will give you a list of any building permits or discretionary or anything going on with that property you would want to preview all of those processes and see if there are any, within the relevant time period that constitute what is defined as entitlement, request for an entitlement in the code. and again, that's kind of a ambiguous term. it's not defined in the planning code and so there would have to be some work there to determine our any of these entitlements and we worked with planning to identify which ones are not titlements and it's on going advice giving because the fees you played to the panning department are based on the value of your project, which are always underestimated and now they'll probably be over estimating or never min

the parcels on the back, as you can see on the next image, on the right, that's a 20-foot wall. that's not an eight-foot wall. next is on density. so this is an r2. so you are allowed to build additional units with each additional 1500 feet. however, that's if you are including the setbacks and the year yard variances that mr. fung, you brought up in the last issue. those are not being respected in this design. this project is being built up against the fences of 17 different lots, roughly 40 different units. if you look at the variance application that was filed, you'll see that they did not bring up the issue of auxiliary units. there are a number of auxiliary units, in-laws that are in various stages of legalization in the area. and also owners who are interested in putting in auxiliary units at later dates, i can't imagine this body or a future body is going to allow back-to-back units to be allowed on zero lot lines so in essence all those 17 parcels will not be able to add an auxiliary unit should they want to in the future. this project which was brought up, i thought it

this year up 23 percent from 20 teen even more concerning for many is that always hoff of those parcels went to children and out of we are all the pieces behind the figure of the millions buying the numbers in the stories behind the statistics and for many families christmas he was gracious when there are 2 places who walk and people are spending longer with the electricity on to hear and wave their horn but i think for me. utilize the resources that we have to support people experiencing poor people ultimately we do it all use government. to do this for us it's crucial to the mean independent and if political show that we can hit with the challenges that people experience in court to face the u.k. is living through an unprecedented time of political division this week as general election is being billed as the vote of the generation it's not surprising then that the issue has been seized upon by politicians on the campaign trail and a final bid to swing the vote on approved everybody who gets involved with bringing food banks mcclure from the people should be dependent on them in the w
