So it's just over six years since I last posted on this blog and Richard Johnson has been doing a superb job of keeping everyone updated on the goings on in Worcester Park in my 'retirement' so why post again?
Well we've got some local elections coming up in Worcester Park and they could turn out to be some of the most significant for years.
Should people vote for the Lib-Dems who gave us the white elephant that is the Sutton Life Centre, Busgate together with its disingenuous 'consultations' and across the borough a massive incinerator which has put Beddington on a scale of pollution alongside Heathrow Airport that has also been the backbone of the massively contentious Sutton Decentralised Energy Network (SDEN) which is a whole other story and on record as giving 71% of customers higher energy bills even before the current energy crisis.
Or maybe vote Conservative and help put someone on a career path like that of our own former Sutton Councillor and now local MP Paul Scully whose most recent TV performances in defence of PM Johnson haven't had the most rosy reviews.
Then you could always vote Labour and while I don't remember if Labour have ever had a local Councillor in Worcester Park the LibDems seem particularly scared of them as their recent letter drops seem to be mostly focussed on telling people not to vote for them.
Lastly there are the "others" and independents so I need to take a look and see who else will be standing.
