Going Green

So the local elections are over and the local mayor has been re-elected despite pissing everyone off for four years. It just goes to show that self-serving and self-promotion can pay off.

On the up side, his party has lost overall control of the council, and my ward elected three Green councillors.

Ironically, one of the things that helped to get them elected was a promise to help us get residents' parking in our street. Doesn't sound very Green, pandering to car owners, does it? The broader picture is, the street is a nightmare without it, so it will actually improve the environment. And the Green councillors drive along here - it's a designated cycle route - so they know the problems dangers only too well.

Whatever happens, I'm proud we went Green and lead the way.

All I want now (as well as the obvious) is for Vincent to stop smoking once and for all, and get a greener vehicle.
