Re: Another Ashton Memory??

Rang police tonight. So called front desk of Bamfurlong Police Station. Message said they only work from 9 till 5 . WHAT GOOD IS THAT? Is that Ashtons representation of police?

Re: Another Ashton Memory??

I can't believe that Walking Day has been cancelled.
My mother took part as a child and so did I.
My young son was due to take part this time aound.

Where did you see this report Alan?

I am sure you can have a march without it being policed.

You make some good points Alan. They at least should see if an alternative way of funding the policing can be found.

Re: Another Ashton Memory??

I forgot to mention that this walk is not just a church based event it involves a great proportion of the Ashton community.

Those who take part and those who line the streets
remember events like this for the rest of their lives.

Hi
There has been a police turnaround and I am told they will now police ALL WALKING DAYS in the borough.
