Perhaps because I gave a fishmongers as an example in the election hustings of a shop Gatley was missing and people might want, I’ve been sent an advert for Sea It Fresh, the Cheadle fishmongers who will sell at your door – call them on 0161 428 1113.

One of the things I’m trying to do is keep people informed about what I’m doing as a councillor and what the Council’s up to as well.  This blog is one way I try to do that.  I’m now going to try it through Twitter too. You can follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/CheadleGatley

The loose paving stone in front of Ladbrokes on Church Road, Gatley, has now been fixed down.  Didn’t have a chance this afternoon to check the others (between Elm Road and Gatley Green) but I’ll do that later today.

If you have a postal vote, it probably arrived today.  Please remember to vote and return it – your vote counts!

Busy day today.  My son’s off watching Stockport County (not over yet but not looking good when I checked a few minutes ago).  We’ve been delivering our latest leaflet, with more news of what I’ve been up to. Good news: the pothole on Gatley Road opposite Springfield Road has been repaired after I contacted the […]
