Understand where you are coming from Lilly. They are holding public meetings in various towns throughout the coming Autumn (had one in Clayton already).. think I put a post up somewhere.
Unfortunately, I am obliged to work during the day to earn a salary to keep me in the style I am accustomed to
, so disables me from attending these meetings, otherwise I would love to.
We (who are opposed to this change) are doing our best to express our views on here, speak directly to councillors, e-mail and letters to the Observer as well as the survery in the market hall.
When this issue hots up, am determined that views will be aired.
Think maybe the time is coming when we ought to consolidate all our views from here into one paper. Against of course !! ..... or 'for' ? only one point put forward on this issue, and that is we have a renowned Football Team (who everyone takes the mickey when they hear the name). Ok, there is the awful tragedy of the Pals, however, it is quite famous in its own right. Still can't see what the name change will do for our borough either financially or promotion wise.
