Stuart Gillard

As district councillor for the ward that includes the old Hermitage Leisure Centre I’ve been thinking a lot about what should happen now that it has been closed down.

A councillor has called in the support of local MP Andrew Bridgen after his calls to get convenient access to a park for elderly residents have fallen on the deaf ears of parish council bureaucracy.

When you've been around local politics for a little while you get to learn nothing gets residents angrier than a windy day when the recycling is due to be picked up.
