Firstly – Thank You – on Friday this web/blog received 1,414 ‘hits’, over the last few weeks, on several occasions, the ‘hit counter’ has exceeded 1,000 in a 24 hour period – I am very humbled that the site is slightly popular.
Nice to have (2) Monthly magazines delivered to our door – but the ‘News’ is somewhat ‘old’ by the time most people receive them.
I see on our ‘other’ popular websites/social media – some people are wanting a change in Council/Councillors!!!! -Hello – Wakey Wakey – Whittlesey/Fenland has ‘just’ had an election in May 2015 – there is NOT another planned election for another 3 years….Will any of the Social Media crowd be standing then – I would hope so, I could do with some help, more than one Whittlesey Ward was uncontested in the last elections – meaning the candidate who stood – was automatically elected – is that good democracy NO – and NO it is not the fault of the candidate – but that of the electorate for allowing this to happen.
Failed/Lost as I may have done I respect the voice of the electorate – and at least where I stood the electorate had a choice.
Secondly – This week is National Neighbourhood Watch Week – where the National Association will be promoting NHW.
