The following email addesses are given if you go into 'Contact' at the paper:


d.atkin@gsmg.co.uk / j.curtis@gsmg.co.uk / r.buxton@gsmg.co.uk

I'm not sure which one to pick, but I'll drop an email.

[zazen999]

I was serious!

We also need one for container gardening...perhaps get one for campaigns and then campaign for one for container gardening...

[lottie dolly]

sorry zazen999,did not mean anything offencive,so sorry.sounds a good idea,is this the first grapevine campaign,it's great that everyone comes together when needed.

I've just phoned them and the lady was lovely, but it seemed as if she was starting to feel a little overwhelmed. She did say that she'd just had another call on similar lines. I'll gladly phone, email, petition and write to whoever Tricky asks. I'm not going to stop now until he gets his plot back.

well we certainly don't want to annoy the newspaper staff, so best to restrict the phone calls, to maybe another one or two tomorrow , and then maybe friday or monday.
commenting is still the way to go, because it shows continued interest.

of course email is just as good as phone call, and less stressful for the staff, and people who haven't paid their phone bill

None taken!!!

I'm just hoping the council back down; before we have to start emailing or phoning customer services at the council offices directly. Or driving over and picketing.

well it's clear this forum likes to look out for it's own. That said of course, it's not just you that has suffered in this way, so we are angry for everyone thats had a similar problem, so don't feel too overwhelmed will you?

yeah, after all its cold and wet out there
still, at least internet activism is something to do in the long cold wet months and the beauty of it is, wherever we are in the country, anyone can have their say.
