A couple of weeks hiatus in posting has been due entirely to a by-election on Earley Town Council.  Carol Mitchell, a Lib Dem town councillor in Radstock ward, sadly died.  The Tories refused to co-opt anybody but a Tory so we called an election.   And, last Thursday, we won!  Hooray!

Radstock was split last time it was up in 2007, 2 Lib Dems and 1 Tory, so it was always going to be close.  But we ran a decent campaign, with a good candidate (Steve Scarrott – congratulation, councillor), and won 618 to 600, in a straight fight with the Conservatives.

Now normal life can be resumed.  Just in time for Christmas……
