Electoral Boundary Changes

I've looked at this a few times but not really bothered much about it, thinking it was just another bit of tinkering by civil servants that are paid lots of money and related to a bit of fudging for those at the high table at Parliament.  But, it would appear it will affect us locally as  well.

Not sure I agree with the suggestions and I am sure there will be a lot of others will be shouting the odds as well.  Now I know Misterton is the largest village in Nottinghamshire but including all and sundry in the Misterton Ward is a bit too much for me to swallow.  Just take a look at this.  Talk about changes, seems a bit drastic to me, in fact bloody ridiculous.  Even the police have smaller backyards.  Fortunately it is a suggestion, presumably to garner comment and lots of interest.  Certainly got me interested 

Lets face it, for some in this village, West Stockwith is a foreign country!

14th July 2015

If you are interested, that's the date of the next Parish Council meeting where an agenda item will be the  right of way relating to the Station Street access to the canal bank and the closure notice nailed to a house wall.

Now I have been told that an individual has been charged with getting in touch with Bassetlaw relating to this item, although in the same breath chocolate and fireguard were mentioned, if you get my drift. Why our District Councilor  has not been allowed to take over this I do not know, and at least then we have someone who will get the job done to everyone's satisfaction.

You get different versions of the 'chicken feathers' tale but the last one I heard was that a chicken ventured into a neighbour's van with a sleeping dog in the back, who woke up and snapped!  All this kerfuffle over a few feathers, somebody wants to get a  grip.

If you think we've got problems, so has Walkeringham, a planning application for 32 houses on Station Road.  Many complaints, lack of facilities, full school no doctor's surgery etc., etc.   At least we have an abundance of basic facilities within the village although we share the same problems with ancient infrastructure.
