While idly sitting at my desk and avoiding work EyeSpy came across this new product, just in time for Joy Garner if she gets voted in as Police and Crime Commissioner, but after last Thursdays results EyeSpy isn’t holding his breath. Continue reading

EyeSpy Oh how the mighty are fallen!
David Conway was not the only one with a big smile on his face Friday morning as Labour awoke to the short sharp judgement of the residents of Springfields and Trent Vale. Whilst it might not stop the move, the backlash against the move to the CBD was apparent, which raised the spirits of many council officers on Friday morning. Parking in Stoke may not be perfect, but the thought of a daily game of ‘musical parking spaces’ followed by a forced tutorial on how you should cycle to work rather than moan about paying £25 a year to spend 20 minutes looking for a parking spot before abandoning hope and parking in Tesco, is a step too far for some.

Is it coincidence that I saw Mike Barnes in the Civic Centre earlier on his way to Standards Committee hearing and his blog is down?
Eye Spy the By-election
So the by-election has finally been called for the vacancy for Office of Councillor for the Springfields and Trent Vale ward, it’s only taken since 27 April. So now the ballot boxes are being broken out and just in the nick of time… frustrated residents in Springfields & Trent Vale are already starting to petition the council over local issues, having begun to feel the effects of no local representation for the last few months.
Despite having more councillors than they know what to do with, Labour have not fallen over themselves to ensure residents have felt looked after, which is perhaps why there are rumblings that this by-election may see upwards of 8 candidates all vying to fix the numerous potholes and clear the litter on the yellow brick road from Trent Vale to Stoke. Hardly a ringing endorsement of previous incumbents…
Springfields and Trent Vale By-election called
Some late breaking news out of the Civic Centre tonight.

More as I get it..
