This despite huge objection from local residents, many of whom are elderly. We have emailed, written, marched, and rallyed. So far to no avail. But we won't give up!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6441994643781680931-4535783447431242984?l=handsideblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Councillor Fiona Thomsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08793742013359656237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441994643781680931.post-14111361313482780332008-11-17T11:03:00.000-08:002008-11-17T15:30:21.954-08:00Hi everyone, welcome to my blog.<br />This is a bit of an experiment - my first attempt at blogging!!<br />Bear with me during the next few weeks while I see how it goes.<br /><br /><br /><br />Here are some of the Councillors who attended Blog training with me<br /><a href="http://peartreepages.blogspot.com/">Louise Lotz</a><br /><a href="http://mandy4welwyn.blogspot.com/">Mandy Perkins</a><br /><a href="http://hatfieldwestramblings.blogspot.com/">Kim Morris</a><br /><a href="http://panshangerhelper.blogspot.com/">Roger Trigg</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6441994643781680931-1411136131348278033?l=handsideblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Councillor Fiona Thomsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08793742013359656237noreply@blogger.com0
