TTS, broken glass, clay rabbits and no bus in The Lane

With a blog title like that I'm bound to bring in the punters - be warned this is one to send you to sleep......a sort of collection of bits and pieces from this week that might be of interest...

It's been a few days of catching up on the correspondence and the huge number of emails plus:
- cleared glass from a path that I'd received several emails about - it wasn't even in my ward but it was easier than trying to get the appropriate authority to find it and respond
- had a meeting with 2 women from Randwick in Whiteshill Village Coffee Shop with Village Agent Pam Thorne to explore ways forward re the Randwick bus not going down The Lane
- raised a host of issues at the Randwick Parish meeting this evening where Calvin Williams was voted and co-opted onto serve on the Parish to replace Tracey Waite who resigned last year (Calvin's energy over coordinating the Parish Plan and youth involvements will be a great addition to the team)
- read papers for the upcoming SDC budget - more of that for another blog
- met other councillors at a Sites Panel re the Folly Park Farm footpath
- attended a meeting with 35 others to explore one of the most exciting projects around - Transition Towns Stroud (ended up taking on coordinating one of the sub-groups - more of that soon)
- made clay rabbits and other animals at Woodcraft Folk this evening with 6 to 10 year olds...OK this is the point where I'd better sign off...
