Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 2nd April 2017
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. In
a historic week for the village, the leader of
the Parish Council, Theresa Green, delivered the official letter which
triggered Article 51, sub-section 8, paragraph 23, clause 11 (Brexit) and the
start of two hundred years of negotiations to take Bromham out of
Wiltshire. The response (an immediate
wall of silence) from the other 27 villages was taken as a positive sign. However, applications to join Hampshire,
Berkshire, Dorset and Somerset instead are known to have been rejected. The status of non-Bromham grockles is, as
yet, unknown.
2. The
Chief Executive of the Bromham Cottage Hospital has announced that he expects
people to have to wait slightly longer than the current average of 21 years for
routine surgery, in an attempt to maintain the current stringent target in
A&E of people being treated within 4 – 5 days. Urgent cases will, of course, still be
ignored for the first 12 hours, or until they are spotted by an overworked
nurse writhing in agony on the floor and frothing at the mouth (or whichever
occurs first).
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
