Roger Williams, MP, will be at the Community Centre between 12 noon and 1pm on Monday 19th November, to meet with anyone who has issues to raise, or problems that they need him to sort out for them. It's an important part of an MP's job and brings him face to face with the people he's representing.
Pete Limbrick of the Stop the Hay Mast group has made an appointment to see Roger Williams at 12.30pm, and he would be delighted to see as many people as possible turn up outside to show solidarity with him. Banners would be good, and small children in buggies (the future pupils of Hay School). Photos will be taken for press releases.
I started this blog to chat casually about interesting and quirky things that happen in Hay - but over the last year or so there seem to have been so many important things happening to the infrastructure of the area that it's being overwhelmed by local politics! There are campaigns to save Bronllys Hospital, and stop a supermarket taking over the site of the school (while wanting a new school), while small village schools are scheduled for closure, and now the O2 mast. Hay used to be a little bit remote from all the problems of central government and budgets and cuts - but not any more. So I'll be trying to talk about some of the good and fun things that are still happening in Hay, while paying full attention to all these more serious matters.

hay is fast becoming a member of the awkward squad.
doubt thw town would have got a railway back in the day with the current anti every change brigade
Actually, it was the locals who campaigned for the railway - it was considered to be very much on the edge of viability by the railway companies, and local farmers got together so it could be built.
We're not "anti every change" - we're anti changes that would be to the detriment of the people actually living here.
