Scouring the internet I came upon the Preston council website and the blog of the Leader of the Council, Ken Hudson. It looks fairly new and although it might be political to even mention the blog, it isn’t too overtly political in content. Most of the content is known policy. A bit of amusement about moving bus stops adding £500k to Prestons bill. As there is a wide river between Preston and South Ribble you’d think they’d know which area the stops were in. Then there is the cost. You could say this must cover at least 250,000 bus journeys, sounds quite a gaff.
As with any blog you can comment on its content. Here is a link to Councillor Hudsons Blog. http://www.preston.gov.uk/blogs/leaders-blog/
Talking about politics and a bit off topic, it’s a funny week when President Obama gave Gordon Brown a DVD box pack and in return we gave the President a hand carved pen-holder made from an old ship and a first edition book. Sarah Brown offered a fine gift to Michelle Obama and she handed over a plastic helicopter. That’s change and a lesson in frugality, let’s hope this lesson is taken up, most of the gifts are stored away and never seen again.
Although I support strong links with the US, whether every British PM needs to be so eager to prostrate themselves every time is another matter, let’s have some dignity.
