[Closed] OMG - I've just become a Parish Councilor

Congratulations!

Are you a busy-body with dictator aspirations?

@dobbo

Yes [especially the dictator bit] I'm after Gaddaffi's old uniform ;-). Free bikes for everyone 🙂

nice one

Have you claimed any expenses yet ?

Can you please do something about the current crop of dandylions that are spreading across the bowling green?

Our village has a fairly good mix of councillors but they are tarnished by one character (an ex-townplanner) hence the question, he seems to think that it's a game of simm city. 😆

well I didn't vote for you

4 places on our parish council and only two stood.. the garden gnome could have got in!

You will be constantly accused of selling-out, lying and corruption.

More seriously: well done

I had more votes than one of the County Councillor candidates of a major party.

We haven't got a bowling green ... net yet.

Thanks all.

PS These expense forms ? how do you fill them out. "Specialized Carbon ......] ;-0

What parish?

1st job is to set about opening up access to everywhere for bikes. Start with your parish and then force it out on the rest of England.

Oh, and well done

Ive always fancied it but not sure where to begin. It all appears a little bit secretive where I am.

I seem to be the only one in the town using fixmystreet for example and sorting flytipping etc.

I also fancy becoming a dictator.

So, your in charge of what colour to paint the swings in the park then 😉

So, your in chage of what colour to paint the swings in the park then

I reckon he'll get them taken sonw, and sent away to be powdercoated. A bike frame or two might accidentally get sent as well!

What?!! You put your money where your mouth is?! Instead of just whining about everything on an internet forum. Sling yer bloody hook!! We don't want your sort around here!!

Seriously - Well done you! What moniker would you like applied from now on

Mein Fuhrer?
Glorious Leader?
Mr President?
Comrade?

😉

These expense forms ? how do you fill them out.

I would be straight down to the town hall asking questions about how to claim my expenses, what I could claim, how much, etc. I would also take the opportunity to book me holidays at the same time.........I'm sure you deserve a break after all that hard election work what you've done 🙂

I for one welcome our new alien overlords.

I should have run for Pill and Gordano - two ran and they made next to no effort to announce themselves to anyone...

Thanks everyone.

I'm now on holiday in the Lakes with the GF after the tiring campaign 🙂

well done.

I lasted 7 years before I escaped (I was vice chairman for a year!! what were they thinking?). (And never had the opportunity to claim a single penny in expenses)

Thanks everyone.

AKA All expenses paid fact finding trip 😉

Not with the wife eh ?

You've only been at the job for less than 24 hours and already you're providing fodder for the sunday tabloids !

Top man........you'll go a long way in politics - mark my words.

I see a cabinet minister in the making.
