Sweeps, door knocking and a huge thank you!

Sweeps Festival Rochester
I hope everyone had a great long, long weekend. We had a brilliant time at the Sweeps Festival when Rochester High Street becomes the lively and exciting place to be! I always think that tourists will go away from this weekend with such brilliant memories. Imagine the atmosphere if we could bring this kind of entertainment to the farmers market that runs one Sunday a month off Corporation Street.

Thanks to all the friends, supporters and neighbours who have put posters in their windows or cars. I have a pdf file of the poster that I can email if anyone else is willing to put one up. Email me on hehirsarah@yahoo.co.uk or alternatively, I will have more printed by tomorrow. Thanks for all the postcard posting - I am particularly aware that Rochester and Borstal have a very energetic band of young people who are not going to be apathetic voters! And lastly, thanks for coming out and voting whether you have already posted a postal vote or are voting in person on Thursday.

We have had a really positive weekend of door knocking. There is such passion, talent and ideas in the people we have spoken to whether it is for the environment, the arts or services for the young and the elderly. I hope I get the chance to work on your behalf as councillor to harness this energy to make the whole of Rochester West a community to be proud of.
