We are flat out this week and almost too busy to blog:
Have spent ..
Sunday campaigning in Corbridge area and then going to the Tynedale Point to Point
Monday going through the responses to our survey and preparing the election plan; the survey has been great as it has been entirely run by local support [we had over 40 people stuffing enevelopes] and a very large proportion were hand delivered. We have had hundreds of responses so far - some bad but mostly very good, and lots of people signing up to help, particularly amongst young voters and in Haltwhistle.
Tuesday in Ponteland - went to the Western Area Committee about 02 mast in Darras Hall - not going as I had hoped in that the Article 4 application is not going ahead as yet, but that is because the Council are stalling us.The 02 fight goes on!
Wednesday all over the place - Hexham in the morning [thank you Sharon for the invite], Haydon Bridge for canvassing and meeting Haydon Bridge supporters [lunch in the Railway] which is going very well, and Haltwhistle in the afternoon. Campaigning today going very well in
Haydon Bridge. Haltwhistle is such a mixed vote; some strong Labour support but many switchers to us who hate the big government style.
Tomorrow starting in Hexham and then heading west - finishing with a canvass and campaign get together / grilling session in Wylam - over 50 confirmed to be coming from all parts of the village
