A long and tiring day working on the final election leaflets and then attending a residents action group meeting at Little Paxton Village Hall, surprisingly attended by local leading District Council Tories and their leader Derek Holley was unwisely provoked into accusations of lying for which he had to make a public apology later!

A long and tiring day working on the final round of the election leaflets. Have been making an extra special effort and perfecting a powerful style for the last campaign report. This extended into the evening, but I broke off to attend the PULP action group open meeting at Little Paxton Village Hall which was a very interesting experience with a good attendance that has attracted the leading District Council Tories to the village, which was surprising indeed. Of course, the letters of invitation had been sent to the District Councillors, but it must have been the Mill Lane election poster boards and the recent work in Little Paxton that necessitated a response in this election campaign. Its good at least to be responsible for keeping them on their toes and their leader, Derek Holley, was unwisely provoked into accusations of us lying for which he had to make a public written press apology later!! Home late and then, after several telephone calls, decided to leave the completion of the leaflets until tomorrow
