Last
week I saw another amazing local club in action. BOXFIT has been open
in Bishops Stortford for just over a decade and provides opportunities
for both men and women (juniors and seniors). BOXFIT
has invited me along to a session but unlike 'Back 2 Hockey' it
appears I'll be watching not participating. I am somewhat relieved as
90mins of hockey resulted in a 'beetroot face'. I am however intrigued
as to how well I'd box... One of the amazing edges
that BOXFIT has is that it cares... Continue reading ...
With
the stop bar down, we were taken in a 4x4 along the runway at Stansted
Airport. The runway was covered in
black rubber which is regularly cleared with specialist machinery. This was an amazing experience a plane
had landed in front of us and there were planes in the distance approaching the
runway. We didn’t spot any FOD
(foreign objects or debris) on our check.
Amongst
the Ryanair planes we saw the new BAA cargo planes Boeing 747-8F. With a 30% reduction in noise and 16%
lowe... Continue reading ...
In
September 2012 I spent 10hrs with the Bishop’s Stortford Police on their late
shift. I was able to observe how
the Bishop’s Stortford and Hertford intervention Teams responded to a sample of
incidents throughout that shift.
During
that time I experienced some nonsense and nastiness the public displayed
towards our police. The police
team were outstanding at dealing with what appears to be a regular aspect of
the job. Personally, I was
exceptionally well looked after and felt part... Continue reading ...

The
2012 statistics indicate that women are still reluctant to start a business but
that doesn’t appear to be the case in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire. As larger businesses close, women are
opening up high-street, on-line and home-based businesses that are diverse,
encouraging local shopping and are visually pleasing.
Record
percentages of the working population surveyed in the GEM UK Report 2011
indicated that they were running their own company or thought that they would
start... Continue reading ...

Mrs Christine Bonner, Mother of Cpl Darren Bonner who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2007, visited Bishops Stortford as part of her sponsored walk in aid of The Royal Anglian Regiment. I was very impressed with her resilience and willingness to seek some good out of such great misfortune.
Christine was clearly delighted to meet her family at the end of the ninth day of her project, at The Bishop's Stortford Town Council offices. I greeted Christine and soldiers of The Royal Anglian... Continue reading ...

"Youth
nuisance" is a specific area currently identified by our police as an area
to focus on. They have decided to
tackle underage drinking and anti social behaviour in Castle Gardens on Friday
evenings. They also decided to proactively patrol the park and talk to the
young people, confiscate alcohol and search people where appropriate.
PCSO
Stephen Siggers and others approached me for help with fund-raising for
bicycles to be used in the park and around the town. My husband and... Continue reading ...

Once I had been elected as a councillor I was able to champion a project
which was close to my heart - improvements to Bishops Stortford's town
centre play park, and in particular, the kinds of enhancements which
would make it usable by disabled children. I mentioned this to a couple
of local entrepreneurs who immediately pledged support. From this
point there was no looking back, and I had to make the plan a reality.
Although the Council was approached, and contributed very
generously... Continue reading ...
