$walesflag$ Long live Yorkie. ZXZ

Wrex you will be pleased to hear that I WILL be here for the Extravaganza - this year anyway!   The Elections are planned for 3rd May and as my name will be on the odd Ballot paper here and there, I better hang around just in case some naive members of the electorate decide that they would like to see me on the Council!
 $good$

I am overwhelmed by the obvious support already indicated for my Political intentions.   $thanx$

I have already had promises from well wishers to assist in the distribution of the vast amount of propoganda material which, it seems from his past valliant efforts, could be produced by a certain well known contributor to this Forum.  (But Blackpool is a bit far away which could create a problem!)   Are there maybe any suitably qualified persons who are more local?  ;)

What is wanted is a bold, attractive, punchy design with a short sharp message that will be understood and remembered, at least until Polling Day!    _))*

My mail box is awaiting an absolute plethora of PM's.     D)

Perhaps, for the benefit of the Forum readers, you could outline some of your policies, Yorkie?

If I was standing (which I hasten to say I'm not, as I abhor politicians) ..
I would have the following 3 point MANI-FEST-O

1, Pier Pavilion Site
2, Pier Pavilion Site
3, Pier Pavilion Site.

Not that I'm obsessed or anything.

First I would not make any promises that I had no intention of keeping.
Second I would not follow the doctrine of any one Political Party.
Policies would be based on good old downright common sense needs of the Community.
Having been in business I believe that Councils should be answerable to their residents as Companies have to be to their shareholders.
In Industry efficiency and cost awareness are of prime importance, such should be the case in Local Government without sacrificing the quality of essential services to the community.
I would listen to the public but would not glibly agree to every request unless it was affordable and of benefit to everyone.

Plenty more where that came from!    >>>
