I'M thinking of only going to public meetings from now on if there's a spread laid on.
I say that because the last two I've been two, Up Holland Parish Council's annual assembly last week, and the Skelmersdale Town Council debate last night, were both supplemented by excellent refreshments. I fear I'm getting spoiled.
The Skem event put on a full buffet, sausage rolls, cheese sandwiches, crab sticks... the lot. There was even a choice of desert. Excellent - and it saved ne a trip to the chippy on the way home.
I digress as the main point of last night's meeting was to discuss the Town Council plan for Skelmersdale. It's an issue I've been following for a few months and there was a good turnout.
Clearly there's an appetite (if you'll forgive the pun) for such plans and despite there being no guest speakers there was a good debate and some interesting points made. There's a full report about it in this week's Skelmersdale Advertiser.
So now it's up to the people of Skem - if they want a Town Council there's certainly enough enthusiasm to make it happen.
Hopefully the campaigners will also take onboard my suggestions about having buffets at every meeting...
