Having been elected to the Town Council just before Christmas there were then a number of forms to complete, not too onerous, but the fun was only just beginning and it was not long before the requests came in...
First were dogs and cars – perennial subjects for local ire – "We need less car mess and more dog parking".
Was someone taking the mickey?
And what about the weather over the last few weeks – torrential rain, fences down, tiles off roofs, trees blocking roads; so on entering the White Hart for a quiet and pleasant pint of Noel Ale the greeting was "Now you're a councillor can you sort out this <expletive> weather?"
The job was becoming 'interesting' and I haven't even gone to the first meeting!
So what really concerns local people?
What are the main issues that would make our town a more pleasant place?
