Snow Joke in Stockingford Tonight

Barpool Ward in just a part of Stockingford and I am disappointed that I did not get to become a County Councillor for the area in the election last summer.

If I had been elected I could have rung straight into the Highways Department to ask for an explanation of the circumstances leading to the chaos on the roads of Stockingford tonight.

As we speak the roads are covered in compressed ice.  No-one can say that they were taken by surprise.  Neither can it be claimed that the snow fell all of a sudden.  The snowfall has been gentle and continual across the whole day.

I have sent an e-mail in to the County Council registering my disapproval but I could, and god knows that I would, have done more if you had given me the position of County Councillor on election night.

It will be interesting to see exactly what the people that you did give the job to will do.
