Cutting Corners

Well there is a parish council election but you are not going to get a polling card because those few that make the decisions have decided that democracy is too expensive and you can't have one.  This means of course that there will be even fewer residents voting, because they probably will not know about it.  Since there are only two candidates for this vacancy there might be an ulterior motive for this move.  Where democracy is concerned, cost should not be  an issue and let's face it, we are one of the few countries that has a genuine democracy.

So if you would like to cast your vote you'll have to make a note in your diary, outlook calendar or whatever for a week on Thursday, 9th October.

As you will see if you pass by, they are packing up their toys and going home, although I must admit they have done a sterling job.  Pity it has cost so much.  Next bit of upset comes when they do the little bridge coming up to the sewage works, which has a very fancy name but I'm dammed if  I can remember it.  Fortunately the road is closed in the evenings so not too much upset.
