Labour won 17 seats, independents 18, Lib Dems two and People's Voice five.

I cannot say I am suprised as I did read his flyer, not being in that ward I did not see any others to have made a comparison but thought it very interesting, a brilliant and no nonsense approach. Should liven things up as you say _________________ My life is no rehearsal There'll be no curtain call encore, so I've thrown my screwed up script away to ad lib my life once more! |

One or two non affiliated elected, interesting! _________________ Elections are won by men and women, chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody |

Worth supporting because he will only accept out of pocket expenses and intends to be non aligned to any group. However, I have problems with my Tidy Trev box but I have no means of contacting Councillor Rock because he's not issued any contact details.  _________________ The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum. |

I will bet him his out of pocket expenses that he won't remain non-aligned for long.  _________________ LET THOSE WHO WOULD BE CLEVER DO GOOD DEEDS NOT CRITICISE OTHERS FOR TRYING ! |

I am told that he sent out leaflets thanking people for their vote maybe his contact details are on there, it will take time for them all to settle in and get their various council details uploaded to the council web site and no doubt they are busy with meetings in regard to the proposed coalition. The bank holiday will also no doubt delay things a little _________________ My life is no rehearsal There'll be no curtain call encore, so I've thrown my screwed up script away to ad lib my life once more! |

I have seen his Thankyou note however there are no contact details.
I certainly hope that he is not in a coalition meeting. He promised us that he would not join ANY group. Don't let me loose faith already.  _________________ The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum. |

I would imagine that he would have to attend any council meetings whether he votes for it or not. They could be thrashing it out for days I noticed that some other LA's were thrashing it out on the night of count  _________________ My life is no rehearsal There'll be no curtain call encore, so I've thrown my screwed up script away to ad lib my life once more! |

There are no Council meetings until 22nd May. Only Groups meeting in secret and a Group is a Group whether you want to call it a Party or a Pub crawl  _________________ LET THOSE WHO WOULD BE CLEVER DO GOOD DEEDS NOT CRITICISE OTHERS FOR TRYING ! |

You can contact Tidy Trev on 01495 311556 as soon as the office is open after the bank holiday, or e mail Info@tidytrev.com. They will replace your bin if you have a problem with it _________________ My life is no rehearsal There'll be no curtain call encore, so I've thrown my screwed up script away to ad lib my life once more! |

I think you are right. There would be no Council meeting on a Bank Holiday. If it's a Group meeting I feel let down already.  _________________ The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum. |

I think there may have been a meeting on the Friday prior to the holiday, this the SWA did report on the prospect of talks re a coalition Friday morning unilt this is resolved I guess they are all in the same boat

Yes but he told us that he is going to remain Independent. If he joins a Group he has fibbed to us.  _________________ The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum. |
