| Thanks for the research - very interesting - thankfully I wasn't going balmy. However I bet you get a response saying I already am! Ho hum, If only people knew! | |

Clearly "Bob" lives in a strange world - why doesn't he identify himself - I already have my own idea who he is (and if I am wrong I apologise to a real Bob) but... - hence his comments get no respect from me. Firstly, I never arrived at the count saying anything about a good night - sorry Bob - LIE. Secondly, we targeted only 4 seats, hoping to win 2 of them - we came second in all 4 so we were disappointed but content with... |

No-one believed me at first when I told them about the path widening and the traffic "calming" measures being put into place. I still can't see how: (1) Reducing traffic flows (2) Reducing road size (3) Adding traffic lights Just how will any of the above help ease the traffic problems if we already have... |

| I have memories of the baths as a child going there from school for lessons, but interestingly enough, my late parents (Maurice "Paddy" Addison, and June Roden were also dance goers there, as were my Uncle Ken (Addison) and Aunty Pat (Weavers). | |

Thanks for highlighting this article Tav. Can I use the 'agenda to clarify a few points. The "other side of the argument" is actually taken from a letter I received from the DC Chief Executive, as I wrote to him a few weeks ago about the issue. The Shuttle did not run the story because of the election. I will probably be accused of raising this as "sour grapes" for losing the election. However, and this can be confirmed... |

| I don't recall who it was, but I do recall they got dragged before the OFT for false or misleading advertising. | |

Well well well, Howard Martin makes a prediction... I seem to recall he arrived at the count last Thursday announcing they were going to have a great night! It was a disaster for them! Now he talks about how well they did coming second in many seats well the facts tell a different thing or two:- Aggborough & Spennells a seat Health Concern won twice they were in a very poor 3rd. Areley Kings a seat they won in 2006 & 2007 they came 3rd! Bewdley a seat where Health Concern won twice in 2000 &... |

| Nice one Sam. I'm not being flippant but does anyone remember some years ago St Tiggywinkles promoting hedgehog flavoured crisps? Someone did and I'm sure St Tiggywinkles were involved? | |

The meeting for this is on the 15th at [sigh] 6pm. The six-page report is here, The objections I'll summarise to - The initial data was faulty and the report didn't take into account congestion particularly at a couple of points in town. The rebuttals I'll summarise to - The data's fine, you've no evidence of congestion and besides the new road system will take care of all that. So recommended to ignore then. More interesting is this 46-page report... |

| Health Concern's share of the vote was about 4% down this year (300 votes) on a reduced turnout. We came second in 7 wards and remain the only serious opposition party. That in the face of a massive national swing to the Tories - they didn't get their votes from us! We generally poll more per ward than the rest of the opposition parties added together. Stop your wishful thinking - we will be around... | |
