I was out and about in Brickhill today, meeting residents and some of the local Lib Dem team. Charles Royden and Wendy Rider are excellent local councillors and have been hard at work in Brickhill since their election.
One of the things I enjoy about being a councillor is the chance it gives me to meet people from all walks of life. As candidate for Mayor this gives me a great reason to meet even more people than usual. Today I popped into the monthly Coffee Morning at Maydenbury House in Brickhill for a nice cup of tea and chatted with many of the residents.
Do you think our area should become the dumping ground for waste sent by Buckinghamshire?
There was lots to enjoy at Cotton End Village Show this afternoon: the Toddington Town Band entertained, there were classic cars, archery, football, a dog show, best-dressed scarecrow competition and a fiendishly difficult game involving marbles. There were also stands from the many village groups.
Precarious business this! I was out today in Brickhill helping to put up the signs warning that the area is protected by SmartWater. SmartWater is usually described as water with its own DNA.
Tomorrow is the World's Biggest Coffee morning. Supporters of Macmillan Cancer Support are holding coffee mornings all over the UK, including many in Bedford Borough.
