Baldock Graffiti

(Comet Newspapers)

Was saddened and disgusted to hear that vandals have already been having a go at the Baldock Bypass
After ten years in preperation, and with it due to be open early next year, ahead of schedule, it is unfortunate that the stupid acts of a few individuals cause difficulties for those who want this to go ahead!
The cost of clearing this up is £100,000.
The bypass will help ease the traffic problems which Baldock faces and, so long as there are proper contingency plans, help business in the town.
Which is far more of a positive contribution to the community than these individuals have made. How much in money have they contributed to the good of Baldock?

So Farewell then....

(North Herts Liberal Democrat Councillors)

Geoff Hollands, the Liberal Democrat Councillor for Baldock East has decided to quit, following his move to Milton Keynes.
He served his Ward for two years, after narrowly beating Les Wilshire in 2003.
The Baldock Blog wishes him well and looks forward to the forthcoming by-election.

Quiz Nights..

Within the first two weeks of each month, on a Sunday night, at about 8PM. The Whitehorse Pub host a quiz night.
I sometimes take part myself and last Sunday five teams were involved.
The questions can be tough and to have a team you need friends who know a variety of subjects, and the quiz is popular. The most teams I have known to be involved are ten, and they are of varying ages.
So if you are in the vicinity on a Sunday night, during the first fortnight of the month, have a look and join in!
