Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 9th February 2014
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1.
The first ever Parish Council meeting to be held
completely under water took place this last Wednesday. In an attempt to save money, pumping out of
the Council chamber for the sole purpose of holding a meeting was not thought
to be economic. Councillors were
therefore issued with SCUBA gear and voting cards. After it became clear that discussion was necessarily
truncated on most issues, and that the normal four hour meeting could be got
through in less than thirty minutes, councillors were said to be keen to use
the same approach in the future.
2.
The recent stormy weather was also responsible
for the washing away of HS1 (the High Speed tractor trail between the upper and
lower parts of the village). Engineers
are currently assessing the damage, but it is thought likely that Upper Bromham
may be cut off for up to five weeks.
People from Lower Bromham were heard to be muttering that it would be
difficult to notice the difference.
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
