Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 17th May 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Ministers
from across Wiltshire met in the palatial surroundings of County Hall on
Wednesday to discuss proposed solutions to the problem of the so-called “boat
people”. Tens of people have been
risking life and limb in a misguided attempt to escape from brutal regimes in
Gloucestershire, Somerset and Berkshire by crossing the Avon River and Kennet
& Avon canal in rickety “pleasure boats” hired out to them by unscrupulous
holiday-hire companies. People have been
arriving starving and dehydrated after spending up to a couple of hours without
a cream tea in a café or a pub lunch.
2. Bromham
Parish Council procedures were thrown into disarray this week when it was
discovered that the leaders of all the parties and all the factions had resigned
for “personal reasons”. Some were
thought to be spending more time with their families, some more time with their
money, and at least one example of more time with his parsnips. No-one could be found to comment on the
situation since the Clerk of the Council had also resigned.
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
