A varied week of leafletting this week, with some good areas and some frankly dispiriting ones! Well, one dispiriting area but it was pretty darn dispiriting!
Thursday night was Borden Parish Council AGM and there was a lot of business to get through. I was elected Vice-Chair for the year and we managed to cajole the existing chair into staying on another year, but it was agreed that all the councillors will take on portfolio responsibilities to share the burden of keeping on top of things. I feel the Council will acheive a lot over the next 12 months as lots of projects and plans are starting to be taken up.
One of my personal projects is to set up a Borden Heritage website which will hopefully preserve the content of many old documents and pieces of research along with old photos, postcards, and hopefully some oral history files which will be great for future generations and researchers.
I also collected the shields for my one of my other projects - Borden in Bloom - which we got from ShoeCare in Sheerness.
Tomorrow I'm off to the PCS Conference in Brighton for a couple of days, and then it will be straight back on the stump :-)

I must say that the electorate can not fail to notice your 'all-year-round' visability and bold 'give-up-my-day-job' mantra, can they? Or base their voting by ignoring local over national issues when considering choosing a representative of peoples' views!? However, and back to reality, there is a massive conservative support in the areas that you are canvassing and one might ask, is this a folly? Only if you are Tory and bloody-minded; Liberal and 'can-only-get-votes-when-the-two-main-parties-are-at-an-low-ebb'. Surely to goodness even they have the capacity to acknowledge the failings of the Tory-led County - and Borough! - Councils! I don't envy you, Mike, but you have my vote and my very best wishes. My mantra is 'They have the power to make the world a better place and hold its fate within their hands and heart'
