On Saturday I was canvassing with Richard Howitt and other Labour MEP candidates and they certainly understood the difficulties we are facing at City Hall. And for the record, I can’t ever recall calling anyone ‘arrogant’ before but perhaps being told to basically ‘shutup’ may have had something to do with it! And I certainly am considered polite by the residents of my ward. Clearly it’s only pointless party politics after all and a waste of time even trying to give a different viewpoint.Sue Sandsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-77998722155031556562009-05-10T03:49:00.000+01:002009-05-10T03:49:00.000+01:00Sue

Here i...Sue <br /><br />Have to agree with previous annons. <br /><br />Here in Bowthorpe where Labour got kicked out for not listening, bruskness and being generally complacent with the ward vote; on the voting paper folks will place in the ballot box and our opinion will be marked X and annon. A right as such local politians like yourself will have to respect. It will be interesting how Labour fair on the 4th June or whether Labour vote disintergrates as predicted.<br /><br />Fake rage is one response to defend the indefensible. Don't think it goes down that well though, or calling folk arrogant. Similarly the lack of politeness of some Labour doorstep canvassers in the earier Bowthorpe ward election towards residents. Luckily for us Labour didn't bother to knock on our door in Bowthorpe to receive our names or listen to our opinions. So we might as well continue commenting as annon.<br /><br />Saying that Labour hadn't bothers to knock on our door for the previous 3 years, so same neglect/ disconnect as previous years under Ferris and co. This is probably reflected in the low electoral interest from resident (31% a huge shame)along with the very few Norwich public who attend (a dozen at most)the overformalised and council meetings in drab duck blue chambers. <br /><br />On the War Memorial, its been at the top of the Councils delayed capital projects for yonks, 2006 from memory. Other than a bit of soil extraction, little has been done on the ground. Its a boarded eyesaw to the visitor to Norwich, and central green space denied to the general public. <br /><br />Add to this Housing management has been a shambles, finance second rate by national auditors, centralised faceless communications, officers inaccessable or annonymous to resident communication and painful treacle progression of Unitary drift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-34261633239451390222009-05-07T20:45:00.000+01:002009-05-07T20:45:00.000+01:00How perfectly delightful to have comments from 2 p...How perfectly delightful to have comments from 2 people so weak in their convictions as to have to hide behind the labels of Anon. I do know that the War Memorial is our top priority; I do know that we as a council care very much about ensuring our veterans have a fitting memorial and I’m not ashamed to put my name to my views – so go on live dangerously and let us all know who you are!

You are spending nearly ONE MILLION POUNDS on Unitary and have done so for several years, you have the money. <br /><br />Your fake rage fills me with disgust. Why don't you go away and think what you could do if you actually used all that money on the city rather than your fool's errand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-25858838302319313992009-05-06T08:09:00.000+01:002009-05-06T08:09:00.000+01:00I would say this to you Ms Ford: Don’t you dare sp...I would say this to you Ms Ford: Don’t you dare spend 5 minutes in our beautiful city and presume to understand the intricacies about the War Memorial. The City Council is working on ways to find funding to repair the War Memorial and in these tough economic times that is no easy task. The council took on a huge debt 3 years ago, but in spite of this, the War Memorial still remains number one in our priorities. Go and insult another city in your MEP ‘waltz around’ and don’t tell us we don’t care about our veterans – because we do!Sue Sandsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-50712640278114364832009-05-05T22:57:00.000+01:002009-05-05T22:57:00.000+01:00Thank you for a very warm welcome to Norwich last ...Thank you for a very warm welcome to Norwich last Friday. I was most moved by going from the desperately sad memorial "gardens" to then meet a Norwich veteran of both Dunkirk and Burma. This is no way to respect our older heroes.<br /><br />Loved meeting people in the market too - times are tough but they are a vocal force.Vicky Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736235110962762699noreply@blogger.com
