Rowena at Home

Come and meet your local Conservative MP and myself and your other District Council candidate at the Community Centre, 6.30pm Friday 27th April.

Campaigning in Forest Row is hot between the Green party and the Conservatives at the moment – it is a great priviledge to get out and meet so many local residents and hear their views – not to mention the pleasure of walking and riding around the ward in this gorgeous weather.  If I haven’t had the chance to speak to you and you would like to ask me a question or send me your views please do comment on this blog or email me at rcmoore@btconnect.com 

I have just taken a look at the Green party videos and can’t decide whether they are a brilliant addition to local democracy or a cheesy marketing tactic…. Do people want to watch such things?  Are politics and issues really so easy to ’encapsulate’?  Does it tell you very much and if so what?  All credit to them for getting out and putting themselves forward, its certainly making local elections a much more engaged and real matter in Forest Row – would that all areas were like this one.

ps I think the idea of a basic football pitch with some basketball hoops on the land by the Forresters is a brilliant one, and one that my hubby coincidentally also had yesterday.  He returned from the village with our two young daughters who were most disappointed at the loss of the slide and the climbing frame from that same spot and said ‘of course it should be made into a football pitch’… so, an idea worth persuing after the elections I hope.  

 How would we stop the balls from going out onto the road?  Would that be an issue?
