Last night, along with my wife, Sandra we went along to the Echo Arena to see Jools Holland in one of the many Summer Pops Concerts.

The Conservatives increased their share of the vote, by over 6% polling 39.5% [...]

The nation awaits the result of the Norwich North Bye-Election. This is the first opportunity people have given to vote since the MP’s expenses scandal, and it will be interesting to see what the effects of that scandal has had on the vote.

A couple of months ago, following complaints from local residents I alerted the Council’s Planning Enforcement Team to a vehicle scrap yard that appeared on the Tarran Way Industrial Estate (Clearly visible from Pasture Road).
