FINAL POST FOR A WHILE - ELECTIONS R COMING

Thanks for following this blog. I never intended for it to come to this, but with Town and District Council Elections fast approaching, I think it's time that some of us took a stand. Our incumbent Councillors have absolutely failed to represent us adequately at both Town and District levels. Three of our number at Save Thornbury's Green Heritage, including myself, have decided to put our disenfranchisement to the test. This will be my last blog entry until after the elections - I am hoping that an STGH colleague will take up my mantle in the intervening weeks.
If you wish to follow the campaigns, it will all depend on what Ward you are living in as to what your voting options will be.


In North West Thornbury you will get three votes for Town/Parish Councillors, and if you so choose, you can vote for HUDSON, DAVIES (that's me!) & COSTELLO, who will be standing as INDEPENDENT Candidates.

At South Glos District Council level, North Thornbury Ward is an amalgamation of the three Town/Parish Wards of NW, NE and Central Thornbury. You will get two votes for South Glos District Councillors, and if you so choose, you can vote for HUDSON & COSTELLO, who will be standing as INDEPENDENT Candidates.

Save Thornbury's Green Heritage intend to survey all the candidates standing in all the wards to find out exactly where they stand in relation to the Core Strategy - that way you can make up your own minds how to vote in an informed manner. Some Candidates may have you believe tht the Core Strategy is done and dusted - it's all over - out of the hands of the local Councillors. This simply is not true. An independent Inspector is still to assess the Core Strategy, following rigorous examination of the process. He/she may be very interested to learn that even now new Councillors may be coming to the fore, with a very different perspective on what is best for the future of Thornbury.

If you would like to support any of the campaigns, perhaps by delivering leaflets in your local area, or by putting up a poster in you window, why not contact the "campaign team" at
