BUSINESS AS USUAL

It would appear by the reactions so far today that last night’s Tyne Tees coverage of the safety side of the Metro congestion problem was seen by a lot of people. Hopefully some of these people, especially those with young children, will pursue the matter at Council level.

On a lighter note, yesterday was hectic, people in and out of the house all day, the TV crew being here for about two hours and the press calling for quotes and details etc. But why did we need to Hoover behind the furniture “just in case someone came in?”

The next and to be honest final step for me as I wont be here much longer, is the CAF meeting next Thursday. I will be leafleting all weekend to try and encourage a good turn out, and together with the publicity generated by the TV coverage, we should be able to top the 80+ residents who came to the March meeting. With a break in the CAF programme to cater for the summer holiday period, this is the last chance to achieve any changes before the end of the year. It is essential that we get as many people to attend as we can.

Now, it’s back to work, back to the papers and back to keeping an eye on the government. Where the hell is Gordon Brown these days?
