THANKYOU to (Ex-Councillor) ROB HUDSON

We note with sadness, but with empathy too, that Rob Hudson has recently resigned as a Thornbury Town Councillor for NorthWest Thornbury Ward. Our MASSIVE thanks for all he has done to represent the concerns of local residents, in particular the huge contribution he has made to the cause of SAVE THORNBURY'S GREEN HERITAGE. Read Rob's own explanation as to why he has resigned on the NorthWestThornbury blogsite. Rob would like to make it abundantly clear that although he has resigned from TTC, he continues to work on behalf of STGH to protect our green and heritage fields from unwelcome and ill-conceived housing developemnt projects such as Barratt's at Park Farm. The fight goes on.

Meanwhile, if you live in Northwest Thornbury Ward and would like his vacant seat to be contested by an Independent candidate rather than automatically filled by another Lib-Dem party-liner, you will need to write to SGC before 12th March requesting a by-election. We plan to put our support behind a candidate who has the best interests of Thornbury, North West Thornbury and our Heritage fields at heart.
