Re. Assembly Tickets
Wednesday, January 28th, 2004Well, it seems that the press release about the tickets got into the Champion verbatim. I guess I underestimated either the Champ’s ability to get something in quickly (admirable!) or the how long it takes the council to put a press release on their site.
I am coming around to the view that the whole boundary [...]
Assembly meeting – tickets gone
Tuesday, January 27th, 2004The council released a press statement yesterday saying that the tickets have gone and advising people not to turn up at the door.
The problem is that if it is reported at all, it will only be in newspapers after the event. The council must be aware of this, they use the papers to promote [...]
Council Meeting as an Assembly
Monday, January 26th, 2004It turns out that the public “Council meeting as an assembly” meeting on Wednesday is a ticket-only affair. There are adverts in the local press that don’t mention this and all previous publicity for it haven’t mentioned the need for a ticket. I called this morning to see if Rosie Cooper (one of the European [...]
St Joseph’s Development
Friday, January 16th, 2004I went to a meeting at St Teresa’s last night, a presentation made by the Anglo-American group developers who want to build another 120 flats in the grounds of St Joseph’s College. This is in addition to the 92 that they recently gained planning permission for.
The meeting was very well attended and it’s a tribute [...]

Extreme Sports Village
Tuesday, January 13th, 2004A company called Grayling Leisure are proposing the development of a 60 acre extreme sports village on Beacon Country Park. There are approximately 300 acres in the country park, part of which has already been developed into a golf course. As the Council website says: “There is space to walk, run, ride horses or bicycles, [...]
Boundary Changes – Survey
Sunday, January 11th, 2004I’m running a survey of what people in the local area think of the boundary changes. There isn’t much time to get submissions back to the Boundary Committee – certainly not enough time to knock on doors. Instead, I’ve asked people to send back a slip or to visit this site. I’m also hoping to [...]
The “Loss” of Lancashire
Sunday, January 11th, 2004Many people against the boundary committee changes are saying that splitting West Lancs in two will mean that we are cut out of Lancashire.
This has touched on a point that people are genuinely worried about, but it’s a spurious argument. The administrative area of Lancashire County Council is a fraction of the historic county of [...]
Hello
Friday, January 9th, 2004After trying out this software for our Lily’s website I thought I’d give it a go here for my own stuff rather than rely on scripts and things I’ve written in the past.
The supposed plan is to keep a note of what I’m doing as well as keeping up to date with what’s happening in [...]
