Doorstep Green

This morning was the grand opening of Doorstep Green by the Rt Hon John Denham; he arrived on a train, announced by the town crier. It was an interesting introduction mentioning the pension’s crisis. He was followed by the Mayor, John Slade.

I attended the event with local Conservative Councillor Jeremy Moulton and Shirley Conservative candidate Matthew Dean.

The local action committee has done a wonderful job and spent many hours some of which has been in unpleasant weather to make today such a success and done a fantastic job improving the park. New benches have been installed and a brick path laid.

The event was supported by many of the local residents which shows that community spirit is alive and well is Sholing.
