There's been a fairly constant traffic of local people with supplies: vats of hot soup, water, food, etc. The folks would like some thermal socks if anyone's got any. Luckily there's now two gas-fired heaters with the red bottles, which work better in the sub-zero temperatures we've been having.
Everyone has been encouraged by the statements made by the Mayor (see earlier post), and the RDA's change in position (see Rory's statement below).
People in the town are beginning to talk: there's a general dissatisfaction with the RDAs rare combination of sluggishness and duplicity. This is crossing political divides and my guess is that the RDA don't want to alienate even more people. The RDA keep spouting out the same old line that "they've consulted with local politicians": if so, where are they? There have been no expressions of support at all for the RDA's approach - unless you count their own people. We spoke to one local politician today about the RDA but unfortunately, their opinion of the RDA is unprintable...
Anyway, here's some pics:
You can always tidy up to keep warm! says the bloke in the picture
Not everyone likes being photographed!
