The benefits of being a Councillor

I have been out delivering some leaflets around my County Council Division this evening. I was delivering to one area of my Ward when a lady (who shall remain nameless) came out and said nice things to me about the response she had received to a letter, she then told me to lean forwards and gave me a huge peck on the cheek for sorting out a problem with cars parking on a green opposite her house.

Sometimes it really is worth it.

Apparently, it's link to Iain Dale day

Iain has asked bloggers to link to this item. Once again his comments are spot on and shows how distorted our immigration system has become.

To link it to my previous post; as an elected representative, it is incredibly satisfying when you take up a case where someone has suffered an injustice and get a result. It has happened to me a few times and it makes every difficulty and every frustration worth putting up with.

Iain Dale on being a councillor

Iain Dale has a short piece on his blog this morning about being a Councillor. I absolutely support everything he has said.
