So it's GREEN for GO on the by-election campaign as I begin the long slog to win a place back on the District Council serving the community that I love.
I have represented Rodborough on the District Council before and I am proud of my record in service to the Ward in that time.

Today is a very special day - @HistoricEngland launched a Blue Plaque to honour the Rev. Wilbert Awdry at his house on Rodborough Avenue - the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine.
We bought his original Ffarquhar Branch back to Stroud for the first time in 30 years to celebrate!

Apologies for the bad photo, it was breezy and these things weren’t settling for long this afternoon. I’m going to say this is a Five-spot Burnet (Zygaena trifolii palustrella, because it’s May and they’re in the right place (Rodborough Common, Stroud)

Absolutely delighted that Rodborough Fields and Frome Banks Preservation Group have now taken ownership of part of Rodborough Fields.
Many thanks to everyone who worked so hard and donated to make sure this could happen.
There is still more to do - see the website here: rodboroughfields.org.uk
