Phonebox Magazine JUNE 2006 Editorial
We say farewell to Olney’s Mayor Sally Rogers this month and welcome Paul Watson to the role, I’m sure Paul can do as good a job as Sally and welcome him into the role.
Congratulations must also go to Debbie Brock this month whose victory in the recent council elections seems to have shown the start of a swing towards the Conservatives – which looks on the increase. Commiserations must go to Graham Mabbut who has served the area for the last 12 years with dedication, we somehow think he has not left the political scene completely.
The area has been getting some cover recently by Three Counties Radio who were in the IceTwice Gallery. More about that inside the magazine.
Well done to Ursula Galeb of Newport Pagnell who raised £4,500 for ‘Action for Sick Children’ by running the London Marathon, her letter on her experience is inside.
