 | They said it couldnt be done |
 |
I have been in Bewdley for the Street Market this afternoon, and the switching on of the Christmas light. Nothing new about this event, except this year we had Load Street and the Bridge closed to traffic. The Police and Highways Dept have always objected previously, but with a bit of pressure in the right place, they came round. Now we have done it, it shows it can be done with few traffic problems.
There must have been a couple of thousand people on the streets of Bewdley. It was quite a sight. The Town Council did a great job, but I think there is a few lessons for next year. Well done to all those who got this event off the ground.
It is good to see Bewdley start to get back on its feet...................

| Rememberance Sunday |
|
Had the pleasure of joining the Mayor and Charter trustees of Kidderminster in the Rememberance Sunday events.
St Marys was packed, with people from all generation.
There was an excellent address from the Mayors' Chaplin, that focused on "love thy neighbour" and reminding us that the children are the generation that will live with the consequences of our actions.

| Another front bench Tory visits Wyre Forest |
|
The Rt Hon Theresa May MP visited Wyre Forest at the weekend.
Theresa took time discussing local issues with local Conservative County and District Councillors. Issues ranged from the impending Police reorganisation, to Immigration and 24hr drinking.
Theresa also attended the Annual Diner of the Wyre Forest Conservatives, which packed the Ball Room at the Ramada Hotel in Bewdley.

| Police Reform |
|
It is very concerning that the Home Office is
recommending an option for West Mercia that
would include a tie up with Staffordshire. This
option has not been featured by either force.
In fact, when West Mercia Scored this option,
it rated very poorly in improving level 2 policing,
which the whole exercise is supposed to be
improving!
Looks like this Labour Govt is not in a listening
mood at the moment, but recent events in the
commons has shown that even Labour back
benchers have had enough. Downing Street
today has said that MPs are out of touch with
the people, I would like to suggest that it is the
Prime Minister who is out of touch!

| Civic Centre |
|
It has been announced that the Civic Centre in Stourport on Severn will not be listed.
Whilst I agree that the buildings' design has some merit, I am not suprised that it doesn't meet the official criteria for listing. With the Civic Centre not being list it will give the Council far more choices when it is looking to reduce the costs of its accommodation needs.

| Fireworks |
|
The time of year is a nightmare for all pet owners. Enduring another night of my two Old English Sheep dogs standing in the lounge barking at the fireworks. It got pretty bad last night, leading to smashed glasses and bleeding feet, etc.
I enjoy a good fireworks dislay as much as the next person, but the fireworks "season" seems to get longer and longer each year.

| OAP Bus Travel |
|
Conservative controlled Worcestershire County Council and Wyre Forest District Council have announced that they will work together to provide FREE bus travel to all the Districts OAPS from April next year.
The scheme will allow the OAP residents of Wyre Forest to travel extensively including outside the county.
| Liberal........ Lib Dem? |
|
Had an email via the website asking me to change the "Liberal" to "Lib Dem" on the front page of our website..........
It seems they dont mind the association with the Liberals, when they are being endorsed during a by election (anything to stop the tories). Now it seems that normal service has been resumed.
