It is now two years since I stepped down as a local councillor. I should leave the stage and let Councillor Mel Sullivan get on with things. But I can’t help it.
Here I am looking up council policies and manuals on Christmas lights in support of Mel’s campaign to complete the festive lights on Newtonhill Road. For some reason council officers don’t think Newtonhill Road meets the definition of being the area of main footfall in the village.
And I have just volunteered to join the Bettridge Centre committee.
