The rain in Slip End falls mainly on the canvassers

Okay, so this morning's weather wasn't the best for walking the streets of Slip End, but we still received a warm welcome from many of the residents.

Thanks to Cllr Dave Bowater and Cllr James Jamieson (leader of Central Bedfordshire Council) for joining me on a Saturday morning; it was a chance to chat with a good number of residents and an opportunity to listen to your thoughts and concerns about the area.  We will be back to cover the roads that we didn't have time for today, and I will be doing my best (along with colleagues) to get round as many places as possible across the six parishes during this campaign.


I did also notice a team in different colours circulating around Caddington village, although the feedback seems to be that they were only delivering leaflets and not actually pausing to discuss policies.  Probably in a rush to get back to Barton-le-Clay, they had a long journey home to contend with!
