Will it be a bright new day for the village? Eleven Parish Council seats are at stake.
The
choice seems simple from reading the election leaflets.
‘The Village Memorial and
Oldways Crew’
Nine residents “Pledged to be of strong
moral principles; honesty and decency in Parish Council Affairs with a
programme for better Communication with residents, the Village Entrance,
Village Memorial Garden, ‘Oldways’, using the Precept for Improvements and Services,
Transport, Local Issues, Hagg Lane Green, Accountability, Consultation and
Working Together”
The nine
candidates “fully support the current Official Investigation into the Probity
of the Parish Council dealings with the Hagg Lane Green Group.”
Liz Carstairs, Roland Chilvers, Forbes Davidson,
Eddie Kinsella, Vic Parkin, Bob Proctor, Les Stebbings, Jan Strelczenie, Keith
Terry.
‘The Hagg Lane Green Group’
Six residents who controlled the Council
proposals by their bloc voting for the past four years and who want “to run the Parish Council” for
the next four years with not a single item of Improvement in their election
literature, just a commitment “to keep the precept at the same level by using
the reserves accrued” by their inaction.
The Hagg Lane Green Group denied the Village Memorial Rose Garden even a tiny donation despite a formal request
from a resident for them to do so! Personal animosities got in their way.
