Today's Tunbridge Wells Courier carries a story about the Labour candidate for Tunbridge Wells. Apparently Gary Heather has organised a public meeting to discuss the future of the Ramslye estate and has invited the Borough Council and Town & Country Housing Association to give residents an update and listen to their concerns about vacant shops and anti-social behaviour.
Isn't it amazing that this is happening now?
People with long memories will remember the Liberal Dozycrat candidate, Laura Murphy bringing residents of Showfields and Ramslye together just before the 2005 general election to discuss issues with the police, housing association and council with a view to setting up a residents' association.
I don't recall seeing much of Laura Murphy in Showfields after the 2005 election. Will Gary Heather repeat history and lose interest after the election in the concerns of the people of Ramslye?
The cynic in me tells me that this sort of intervention does more harm than good and wastes the time of people who are engaged in long term efforts to improve communities and neighbourhoods
