This week has been quiet re Council meetings - for me just a half an hour one looking at planning needs of members - this has allowed me to catch up a bit on other issues like the Folly farm footpath re-routing (see blog below) and two residents issues regarding planning applications that have become rather complicated.
The fight against the hospitals continues - it is great to see 7000 marched in Cheltenham and some 150 made it this week to lobby Patricia Hewitt when she came to Cirencester. I also met this week with 15 year old Ruth Royall lead singer of local award winning band Sub Justice and also now singing on her own - this hugely talented Ebley girl has recorded a wonderful single that she has donated to the Hospital campaign. The recording involved 6 sets of her voice and then adding the Stroud Samba band - am sure it will soon be being heard on local radio and hopefully national.
Other meetings this week have included catching up with Green Stroud District councillors to look at our response to various consultations like the Regional Spatial Strategy (see Blog on 10th July) and meeting with Vision 21 regarding their plans for a conference in October looking at climate change.
Plus the usual general Green party news releases - visit the website to see what we've been doing this week - interestingly my letter in SNJ was sent to them on 17th May!! A number of more recent letters have been sent since then regarding the Government's Energy Review - they really need to print up to date letters.
