Because they care

Nightwatchman has been working assiduously to firm up his contacts within the local conservative party. Gentlemen,- we have our mole.

Good timing, too. Just as things get more interesting.

The news broke this very week that Roy had failed. He had tried to persuade the City Council to switch the site of the Polling Station used by Reddicap Hill in order to save the residents a three mile hike to register their vote.

But Sutton Coldfield Conservative Councillors, fearlessly led by Councillor Parkin managed to get the bid rejected.

I understand – and this is fairly confidential, - I understand that MP Andrew Mitchell was delighted at the outcome. I have it on good authority from an unimpeachable source that Andy has awarded Councillor P the highest accolade available to the Association.

Polly gets the signed photo.

The Citation read:

“To Councillor Parkin who showed extraordinary determination in refusing to support the easy decision to move the polling station. His steadfast defence of the status quo is an example to right thinking people. Especially those with motor cars. His stand against this outrageous example of socialist gerrymandering has liberated the hill dwellers from that most devastating condition..........

Confusion. "

There now can be no doubt in any mind on the Hill.

If you really, really need to vote.

Catch the bus.

As my mole left, the filler was being put together for the paper. It read ‘Andrew Mitchell added that it was people like Councillor Parkin who had made the Tory Party what it is today. Once again our hard working councillors had demonstrated just the sort of passion and commitment expected of them in the community.’

Nightwatchman.
