Local Issues

This is where I have a rant about things. You can feed back your own rants to me: I'll publish them as long as they aren't defamatory, together with my own counter-rants as I see fit. So far, not many have taken me up on this. Here are the links again: Sour grapes? (Jun 03) , Milton Abbot (2003) and Bedford Square (1997-98)

Election blurb

Election addresses since 1995, with links to candidate lists and results.
As a local councillor, I think the Web offers a good way to increase my accountability to the people who elected me. So I have reproduced here the texts from my last three election leaflets, so that I can be measured now against what I said then. I have this crazy notion that if all politicians could be persuaded to do likewise, we might promise less and deliver more.
Does that make sense? Email me if you have a view.
Whatever, here are the links again: 1995, 1999 and 2003

Software commercials
