At the beginning of the week I told you about Westminster City Council’s awards for people who are making a major difference to the lives of others, and suggested that if you know someone who has made a real difference in Pimlico, you should nominate them for an award so that they could win a £500 grant for their organisation or to help them continue the good work they they do.
I would like to thank “Bruce” for this morning nominating NoToMob an organisation devoted to campaigning against WCC’s Parking Charges on Motor Bikes, and currently campaigning against sneaky hiding of traffic CCTV cameras. I have a feeling that an organisation agitating against WCC policy may not receive an award, but I applaud their humour and passion in publicising their cause.
No to Bike Parking Tax
The fight is a Pimlico fight which would find a place in the immortal “Passport to Pimlico“:
Frederick Albert ‘Fred’ Cowan: You can’t push English people around like sacks of potatoes.
Jim Garland: English?
Connie Pemberton: Don’t you come that stuff, Jim Garland! We always were English, and we’ll always be English, and it’s just because we are English that we’re sticking up for our rights to be Burgundians!
Thanks for giving the NoTo Mob a plug!
How could WCC possibly have a problem with this nomination when Colin Barrow was reported to have been calling for an “army of volunteers” to help the state to “develop and deliver local services which had their roots in community provision”? Surely, his prayers have been answered with their shining example?
If we are lucky maybe Colin will come here and confirm that this was what he had in mind?
