Well folks we had the meeting today with Cllr Gary Hopkins and the team from the council, and what can I say about it and being nice at the sametime.
We had be told by the local residents that they had worrys about regarding the council recycling policies in the Easton area, so we call a meeting so that they could put over their points of view to the council, but only a few came to this meeting. Yes I know it was on a Monday and in the daytime but if the local reidents cannot turn up to a meeting that they ask for, what hope have we in changing anything that council wishes to do.
Can I thank the few that did come and tell the council what is not working right, and I look forward to seeing if anything does change in the local area.
I have to thank Michael Debenham at Easton Community Centre for giving the local community the room free (they change £60 for a 3 hr meeting) and Karen from Grounds4Change for the great Lunch.
also on the list of thanks are:
Bangladesh Womens Group, Awaz Utatoh, and the Somali Voice for their presentations to the meeting, which Cllr Hopkins told me was a eye opener to him and his staff. I also wish to thank Cllr Hopkins for give up his free time to come to the meeting.
Woody it was nice putting a face to the words I read on the net.

Good to meet you in the flesh too. Now you know what I look like, you can run in the other direction and hide when you see me coming.
Useful meeting. Shame we didn’t have more members of the public though!
