It's great to have some new people serving on the District Council.
Now let's keep in touch with what they are trying to achieve and how well they work.
I look forward to finding out what kind of people Sundara Bharath Rajan and John Victor Clough are. I shall cetainly be curious - Can I request that they operate a blog together with Mark Wilson, their colleague? I suspect that this is the first time that Ulverson has had half their representatives being Labour.
I'm still hoping that John Lawrence got in at Town Council Level. Now that would really be something!
As it turns out - see the SLDC site - John Lawrence didn't get in (much to his and his wife's relief I suspect).
A lot of new faces to get to know with 10 Labour and 8 Conservatives.
This should be fun - for a while. It will provide some entertainment as they settle in .
Will we now have some action?
Labour will be fighting to have lower Car Park charges (Fat chance with the present Lib Dem in charge).
It could be that our allotments are better run - not an easy assignment.

What a shame Norman didn't come and see us,myself and wife would have voted for him.During the build up had a few leaflets through the door but not one came knocking,so we said they couldn't be arsed coming to see us so we can't be arsed in voting.
I can sympathise strongly with this reaction.
This year no one came to my door to talk. I made an appointment with the Liberals who were twenty minutes late even though I could see them chatting across the car park. When they did arrive they made it clear that they needed to go - and press hands and smile as at many people as possible.
There's an attitude around generally that we can treat people as machines without feelings.
Empathy seems to be in short supply.
If they really want to communicate with us as people then they need to make more effort to meet us half way.
Starting to go round their patch needs to be done at least a month beforehand if they are sincerely going to talk to everyone who wants to.( I spent a whole year at it! But then where did it get me? - With quite a few new friends!)
