Now that nominations are in we have started actively to campaign and to 'leaflet' around Acton, Chilton, Great Waldingfield and Little Waldingfield.
I am really very lucky that my running mate Colin Spence, who is embarking on his eleventh campaign trail, knows his way around the Ward so well. Yesterday we went out beyond Lavenham in one direction and almost to Boxford in another to seek out the outlying voters that fall into our area. It was quite a trip down lots of winding lanes. I am pleased to say that we were well received by all the dogs and geese that we met, and almost all of the human beings!
As we went around I was really struck by what a wonderful area this is and how lucky we are to live here. The countryside is looking really lovely at present with the bright green corn, the white blossom and the yellow rape flowers. The day really inspired me to fight to keep it as unchanged as possible!
During the excursion my attempts to add more names to my e mail and blog update list proved rather frustrating. A number of people complained that, living some distance from the Sudbury exchange, they are unable to get an adequate signal for Broadband. Slow or intermittent reception means that they do not use their e mails and access the internet as much as they could and are generally rather bored with the whole process. This is obviously something to work to change!
