News From Bromham - dateline Sunday 29th April

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – 29th April 2012

Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
·         The parish was rocked this week by the news that one of its politicians had been less than honest.  Isaac Hunt, parish councillor for village culture and the arts, has been revealed, in a devastating series of emails, to have become a cheerleader for Vegetables Incorporated in its bid to become the majority share-holder in Bromham East Land Collective & Holdings (BELCH).  This is seen as a conflict of interest, and Hunt has rigorously defended himself by sacking his chief advisor E. Silly-Expendable.

·         Since the drought was officially declared in the area two weeks ago, together with a hosepipe ban, the situation has become extreme.  Several inches of drought fell to weeks ago, and more than three inches of drought this week.  Water-butts, rivers, streams, ponds and lakes are now full to over-flowing with drought.  So much drought has fallen that it has been totally pointless to even break the hosepipe ban.

·         Official figures announced this week confirmed that Bromham Parish Council has technically dropped back into over-draft at the bank.  After being over-drawn by £1.47 last month, the situation has worsened this month with a drop to £2.23 this month.  This double-dip-drop-flip-flop is exactly what economists had feared.

·         For details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station Carrot FM.
