Lib Dems thumped in East Hampshire and Nationally
The Conservative Party today strengthened control on EHDC, reflecting the Party's popularity in the Country and the meltdown experienced by the Lib Dems across the UK.
Thank you and Goodbye
To all electors of Bell Hill and people of the Town, as my time as a Councillor draws to a close I thought I would write and say how much I have learnt from my experiences on the Town Council.
I am standing down as I now work in London and this means that I am less able to represent your views than I was when I was elected in March 2005.
The last couple of years have flown-by, the Council has had ups and downs, however I am convinced that the course has now been set for a much brighter future.
I hope that I have bought some fresh thinking to the Council whilst elected, this blog for instance was probably the first by a Councillor in Petersfield and it has allowed me to communicate with the electorate in a way other than telephone, email or letter, I hope it may have done something to make me more in touch with the people of the Ward.
I am hoping to use my spare time supporting such groups as the Kings Arms and the Friends of the Heath who do so much to enhance the Town that we all love, I will also be staying involved with the ongoing project to provide a first class concrete Skate Park for Petersfield.
Once again thank you for indulging me by visiting and reading my thoughts, Vote Blue, Go Green on May 3rd for a brighter future for Petersfield, the District and the Country.
This site will continue in a different format, following a brief redesign to reflect the fact that I am no longer a Councillor.
Thank you Hugh
