Just got back from a meeting with a local councillor who has just become a UKIP member, having in the past been a Lib-Dem. He is going to announce it tomorrow night at an open council meeting. The two Labour councillors are going to be flabbergasted and horrified.
The meeting will be packed because this morning the town learnt via local radio station (to which a council document had been leaked) that Sheffield City Council decided that the local sports centre is going to be closed and demolished.
In the early 1970's the residents here raised the money to have the sports centre built. The 3 acres of land that it is built on was gifted to the people of this town by a local farmer for recreational use only.
There will be uproar and possibly even blood on the carpet.........
Can't wait.
