Some…"
Andrew Rainsford replied to Andrew Rainsford's discussion Chance for Change"Yes, the pdf is clear but it was also wrong! It showed 10th May and with the minutes of the March meeting showing 17th. The correct date, 24th, is now showing - but it wasn't."

We have a chance for change in Shepton tomorrow. Does the confusion regarding the date of the next town council meeting show 1. That the existing council rather take their re-election for granted?2. Show a breathtaking level of incompetence.3. That the existing council don't really want the public to know what they are doing.

Andrew Rainsford replied to David Andrews's discussion Stand Up For Shepton in the group Local Politics"Sorry Neil, I think that you have listed the benefit. It is not possible to pluralise.

Andrew Rainsford replied to David Andrews's discussion Stand Up For Shepton in the group Local Politics"LIke many I was appalled by the campaign against Cllr James. It went beyond the boundary of reasonableness and I emailed SU4S to say so. My comment, like every comment I have submitted, was not published. Some of the stuff on that site has been good…"
Andrew Rainsford replied to Chantelle Mitchell's discussion Voluntary Cooperative"Technically it is not the job of the council to provide such a service. However, it is the job of the council to create an environment where such a facility can thrive. In my previous job we had a double deck bus fitted out as a party bus - with…"

Paul Knight replied to Andrew Rainsford's discussion Shop Jacketing and Pop Up Shops"Thanks for the response but its all too little too late.

Andrew Rainsford replied to Will Dunscombe's discussion Save Our Library"Does anyone know how the vote will be taken at the council meeting? If the library vote is amalgamated into the main budget debate and vote there is a major problem in that the libraries will go by default. Can our district and county councillors…"
