When I first started this two part round up, I thought the year had flown. Going through and looking at each months list of articles disproved that.
In the most part, it's been a really bad year, in terms of the economy and the knock on effect. 2011 will be even worse, but I think that if communities can work together, share information and inform then we stand a better chance of having the wool pulled over our eyes, and I hope we don't get in a situation we are now in.
2011 is a very important year for Stoke on Trent, as May see's all out electiions for local councillors where it's down to us to to elect the right people for the job.
We need new blood. We need people who won't be rail roaded by the council's officer class, who will look at problems their electorate raise and will fight tooth and nail for them. I've also got issue with councillors who don't respond to emails, so the next lot of candidates for the new wards (or old if the bill isn't passed) will be facing a grilling during election time.
