Welcome to my blog

Hello, and welcome to my blog! It's been a busy weekend, with the election less than 3 weeks away... We were out early on Saturday morning to do some press work ahead of our election launch at the Town Hall. We did a take off of the Abbey Lane Beatles album cover to draw attention to our demands for more money for pedestrian crossings.

Later on we had our official launch in town, where we presented a bill for £120 million for extra heating costs caused by badly insulated homes. It's common sense that we need to put huge efforts in to insulating all our current building stock to a much higher standard, and also introduce really strict controls on the quality of insulation and energy efficiency in all new homes.

There's no excuse, it costs no more to build better quality and better insulated homes and the savings we'll make in the long run will be enormmous. We will regret in future not spending the money now to insulate all our older buildings properly, but people cannot be expected to do this on their own it needs the Council and the Government to take up this issue in a serious way.

I've spent much of the rest of the weekend making sure all our latest newsletters have gone out as planned and organising more of our activities over the coming weeks in the run up to the election. With the registration deadline for voting only 3 days away, I fear we need to do more to ensure as many people are registered as possible. I've also been replying to emails from interested people who may wish to join and drafting a reply to a query on waste strategy from an elector. I even managed to squeeze in time to buy some new shoes and go to a BBQ at a friends! It's all go really, I think perhaps I could do with a Personal Assistant... Offers of help muchly appreciated!!
