Surgery this morning

Getting soaked just walking from my car the hundred metres or so to the delightful St Johns 
, I was more than pleased to see the coffee pot simmering and a couple of shortbread biscuits all prepared for my arrival. I have to say it cheered me up after a troubled nights sleep listening to the force nine winds howling across the marsh. The inclement weather did not deter residents bringing some issues for us to help with and problems ranged from the trees in Druitt Gardens ( very complimentary about the new layout) to problems with bonfires from construction sites and abuse of the disabled blue badge scheme which we will have to report to County. One resident left us with the problem of clearing waste from her minagery of pets. Cllr Davis will deal with that one! What I enjoy about our surgery is that we never know what problems are going to be presented to us and it is really interesting resolving the issues, when we can. This monthly meeting with our residents enables us to listen to a whole range of problems but equally important seeing how they appreciate this great constituency and understand the financial difficulties facing this Borough Council, oh yes and for the support they give us. A good morning apart from this tedious weather.
