Just thought I’d write a quick update on the Friends of Walkden Station public meeting which was held yesterday evening. The meeting was both well-attended and constructive and FOWS continues to go from strength-to-strength. The Committee have done a huge amount of work behind the scenes and I am sure we will see some significant improvements in the future thanks to their hard work.

It’s day three of the Council’s consultation on the future of the Roman Catholic secondary schools, and there’s still no sign of anyone being told that there’s actually a consultation on. There is still nothing on the website. I have asked for the address and e-mail address for representations but this has not yet been forthcoming.
Conference - A Brief View From Afar
I don’t want to run through the week on a point-by-point basis (which is done far better by people who were actually there like Iain Dale), but it is clear that Conservative activists have left Blackpool with a real spring in their step after an excellent Conference in which David Cameron confirmed that he and his team are a genuine government-in-waiting. The contrast with Gordon Brown’s tired and recycled speech last week was stark.
I have remained firmly in the sceptical camp as far as the possibility of an autumn election is concerned, but along with many of my colleagues I am now sure that if Gordon Brown does seek a November General Election, the Conservative Party will not only fight but will win - for the benefit of every resident and every community across the country.
