Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 26th April 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. With
less than two weeks to go before the Parish Council elections, excitement in Bromham
is building to almost fever pitch. Fears
have been spread that a Hung Council might be the result, and that the balance
of power may be in the hands of the Seend Separatists and their ruralistic
agenda, or a coalition propped up by members of the Fruitcake Stall.
2. Emergency
meetings and negotiations are under way amongst many Wiltshire villages in an
attempt to address the crisis of the “boat people” of the Kennet & Avon
canal. Many of these poor people, “silverhead
tourists” have taken to the water without any form of knowledge, training or
common sense, using holiday boats supplied by unscrupulous charter companies,
and have ended up getting lost, sinking, or getting stuck in the locks of the Caen
Hill flight. The cost of rescuing these
individuals is causing major problems. One
solution that has been proposed involves finding ways of stopping these
desperate individuals from getting into boats in the first place.
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
