I’m off for a couple of days. Back soon.

Listed on the Town Council notice board are the candidates standing for the 21 places on the Town Council (May 2011 to May 2015). The election takes place on the same day as the district council elections, and the referendum on the Alternative Voting System. That is May 5th.

I will be standing again, and hope to be re-elected. I attach a copy of my CV with a slightly different ending from that which will appear in our campaign leaflets. I will let you know on May 6th how it all went.

In 1911 Douglas Macmillan started up the ‘Society for the Prevention and Relief of Cancer’. 100 years later Macmillan Cancer Support is still there to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. I asked this chap what it was like being 100 years old.

The war memorial has been cleaned, and stone sets laid. The trees and seats look similar to those in the Market Place at the other end of the High Street. The same architect has been involved with both projects.
