Successful action against illegal travellers
Wednesfield campaigner, Oli Williams, has thanked all those who backed the campaign against illegal travellers who invaded the land adjacent to Lichfield Road leading to Lyndale Park. Following pressure from Oli and other local residents, a court case against the travellers was brought forward by four days. News of this action was enough to persuade the travellers to move on and they had all departed the site within twenty-four hours.

Folkestone History Society
We have known about the History Society since its early days as our friend, Charles Whitney, was the first Chairperson back in the mid 80's. Charles was invited to attend this event and so it was a real treat for us to meet again after a time apart.

Town Centre Toilets - Deep Clean Programme Launched Today
I launched the new programme of 'deep cleans' of all the public toilets in the town centre today. I was at the toilets by the bus station, under Allhallows car park today, where I tried out the high-powered steam cleaning machine that will be used there on Sunday and Monday. Many residents have told me that the bus station toilets are are not as good as other public conveniences, but of course with the toilets due to be knocked down as part of the redevelopment of this area of the town centre, we are not going to spend vast amounts of taxpayers' money refurbishing them. I have instructed that this deep clean takes place to ensure good standards of hygiene, however, to be followed by a continuing programme in the coming weeks at each of the other town centre facilities.
