Mayor Dave Hodgson conducts the 'Pints in the Parishes' draw

Full 'Pints in the Parishes' Schedule

Having received an excellent response from Parish Councils after inviting them to nominate a local pub as a venue for one of the monthly 'Pints in the Parishes' events, I had to conduct a draw to identify at random the pubs I will be visiting. The first event at the Swan in Elstow was an extremely useful way of finding out the concerns and ideas of residents in an informal setting, and I am looking forward to the rest of the schedule, which is now confirmed.

Visit to Etaples: To Remember

Was up early to catch a coach to Etaples with the Mayoress first thing - an early start isn't (quite!) so bad when the sun is already shining at 6.15am. A quick and easy journey through the Channel Tunnel, with good company, set the scene for the day. Those on the coach were members of The British Legion, Youth Uniformed Organisations and various people involved with the twinning planning and organisation. We had time for a coffee in a café before beginning the ceremonies of the morning - ordering decaf coffee with schoolboy French took a little time!

No Relief for Residents who are Caught Short

The imminent closure of public toilets has brought Stoneleigh and Auriol Residents Association (SARA) into head-on collision with its own councillors, who claim SARA should have "consulted" them before campaigning to save the public loos at Stoneleigh. Lib Dem opposition councillors, who called for a "Community Toilet Scheme" to be set up before the public loos were closed, are bemused. Surely it should be the other way round?
