The summer holidays may only just have begin, but Greenwich Conservatives have already been out and about for some time talking to residents this summer.  Greenwich Council's "Great Get-Together" events were held in three locations around the Borough during June and July, and Conservative Councillors were well represented at each.

Each event featured a "Talk Cafe" marquee where residents could meet their councillors, and post suggestions on display boards.  We spoke to many local people, and came away with a number of specific and general issues to take up on their behalf. 

Amongst the many comments we saw and noted down from the suggeston boards were:

• "More Police foot patrols"
• "Sweepers to follow the bin men- they make a mess."
• "Greenwich Time newspaper in its present form brings the Council into disrepute.  Needs a fresh start."

Whether the Labour Council will actually listen to what people are telling them is, of course, another matter.
