Puffing Parky

Parky wants your vote.

Young Master Phil has written to me. His leaflet dropped on to my mat last week.

It, I don’t want to be unkind, was a bit of a disappointment. Parky is not one for the grandiose promises. Actually he’s not one for any promises at all.

But he is very keen on what he does. Essentially, this is sitting on committees. Great sitter is Parky. Got a lot of bottom. And he tries very hard.

I shall take the liberty of quoting from the text…..

“Represent the ward as Councillor since 2004”
“Governor of Maney Hill Primary School”
“Member of the Falcon Lodge Community Centre Advisory Committee”
“Chairmanship of the constituency’s Economic Development Group”
“member of the City Council Regeneration Overview” oh!,”and Scrutiny Committee”

Its no wonder he doesn’t do anything.

He hasn’t got time.

But you can tell his heart is in the right place….. He will “continue to work hard…to ensure we get the high level of service we deserve”

He has “worked hard to help ensure that cycle and pedestrian routes are extended”

He does “my utmost to ensure (sic) that the needs of children and young people are always taken into account”

He will “do all I can to ensure local parks are protected”

He will “keep fighting for the economic prosperity of Trinity Ward”

And, he will also “do all he can to ensure that any development that takes place is for the benefit of all the residents in the ward”

These are the words of a driven man. When he’s not fighting, he’s trying hard so much that he is doing all he can.

Only a complete curmudgeon would dare mention the orgy of flap that has surrounded the Hard Trier’s complete failure to install a traffic light outside the Anvil Pub.

And it would surely take a stony hearted zealot to question Utmost Doer’s blank refusal to spare the Reddicap Residents the long hike to the polling booth.

Nightwatchman hopes Parky sleeps soundly in his bed at night. We note the line about getting the service we deserve.

If this tosh gets our boy elected, we may expect no less.
