More Meetings

Last Saturday at 6.0pm we met as a political party (3rd time) to get closer to finalising our list of candidates for the election. We firmed up numbers 1 - 8 but we need to speak to a couple of younger members to see if they will stand and help us attract the younger vote. We are to get together on Monday evening to finalise the list, agree the slogan and have a photograph taken to incorporate in our publicity.

We had a total of just over 200 responses to the survey which was very good, as it represented the feelings of nearly 400 residents. It was not surprising that property issues and health were at the heart of most responses. Whilst the property issue is being addressed through both the courts and the PGOU it is not really an item for the manifesto, as there is no more that we, or any party, can do to progress this issue faster or better than we currently are. The other issues which featured near the top of most peoples lists Medical issues, tidying of the areas, tarmac roads, etc. I cannot import the documents into the blog but if anyone wishes sight of the full summary just drop me an email. It will certainly help me when we compile our manifesto in the next few weeks. So thanks for all your responses.
