Report No.6 ... The phone has been ringing all day with Basingstoke residents giving me new items for tonight's agenda. I keep telling them I have this Norovirus sickness and might not go to the meeting, but they still want me to bring things up!
Someone reported that work has come to a halt, yet again, on the new B&Q DIY store on the edge of town. Apparently when the workmen opened the box to start putting up the new building they found several bits missing!
Another asked about the mystery buyer who has put in a planning application to build a turkey farm between our two churches, St Bernards and St Mathews. The applicants strongest case seems to be that "Basingstoke needs more turkeys". The Residents Committee think that's a poultry excuse!
Bill Stickers, from Getchrone Way, just told me that posters are going up all over town advertising a bare-knuckle wrestling match between "Crusher" Grape and "Mighty" Dewitt. I assured him the Basingstoke Residents Association South (BRAS)are totally opposed to violence of any sort and will fight to the death to have this match stopped.
More later ...
