Funny that, coincidental you might say.

I have just been to the council website to retrieve the email address of my councillor and have just sent a very sweetly worded note asking him to come along and have a look at our threads. I'm not going to hold my breath while I wait for a reply though.

I have a question for you all, do you think I should copy this message to all councillors or would you each prefer to approach your own councillor on your own?

Ceejache, please don't stop posting here. We need to keep everyone together, and for everyone to do whatever they feel they can. And whether that is a little or a lot, is not really important. What is important is the community. The community of likeminded individuals who can act together to produce change. Of course we may fight like cats in a bag from time to time, so what, we are human and that is what humans do.

I think that your idea to bombard the council with emails is brilliant. I'd be more than happy to join in with that. I think that we should do all the community groups too.

Some letters to the editors of The Observer and The Telegraph would be a good move too, especially if they contained the Accyweb address.

A list of demands might also be a good idea.

We could also do with someone who is prepared to be a 'face' for our community. A real people person, but someone preferably with a tongue like a chainsaw for when the need arises.

When I started this thread this morning I never expected that it would provoke such a passionate response. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised and grateful to all of you who have taken the time to contribute. Don't stop now, were only just getting going, there is a lot to do.
