This week sees the launch of the Conservative Party’s first National poster campaign of the year. I am not sure if we will have any up in Bury so I have reproduced the ad above. I thought it was quite striking although no doubt Labour voters will not approve!
Last night I went with Sue to take CeeCee to his training class and then on to a meeting of the Conservative Group at the Town Hall, the first of 2009.
Last Wednesday evening I attended the Ramsbottom, North Manor and Tottington Local Area Partnership meeting which this month was held at St. Andrew’s in Ramsbottom. The main speaker was from the NHS who spoke about their priorities to improve peoples health. As usual the meeting was not very well attended. I tend to interpret this as meaning local residents are generally happy with the situation. If there is a major problem locally then, quite rightly, residents will attend to voice their concerns. Some points were raised by those present such as whether Bridge Street in Ramsbottom needs to be closed for the Christmas Market and I am sure that the pros and cons of this will be considered over the coming months.
On Saturday I was surprised that despite the freezing weather which resulted in all but three of the games in Division Two of the Football League being postponed Bury’s game at Gigg Lane was still on. I went along and in what was not one of the most attractive games I have ever seen Bury won 1-0 to keep up their push for a play-off place at the end of the season.
