Bohemia Village Voice  Bohemia Village Voice

For bohemians everywhere

Editorial 48

Councillors
The Voice offers warm congratulations to our two local councillors – first to Andrew Cartwright for snatching victory in the Gensing by-election, and second to Vivienne Bond, who has been elected Deputy Mayor. Well done the two of you, and we look forward to petty party politics being put aside in favour of co-operation to solve some of our most pressing problems. See ‘Mystery’, below.

Local colour
It’s always a pleasure to get local stories contributed by readers. Two priceless examples that we would never otherwise have known about appear in this issue – the Magic Shop memories and Bill Third’s article on Edward Preston.

Village Directory
After hearing from readers that they found the directory hard to use, a new format is being tried with this edition: all entries are in a single alphabetical listing.

Mystery
Can anyone help identify the dollops of soft brown material decorating our pavements? With our streets regularly patrolled by a vast and growing army of road sweepers, street cleaners, street bobbies, street wardens and dog wardens it surely can’t be dog sh*t – can it?
