As detailed t'other week here on the blog, from September 2008 local MP Edward Timpson will be holding his regular surgeries at the constituency office at 30 Victoria Street, Crewe ( that was the campaign office during the recent by-election ). It's close to the bus station, opposite Chatwin's cafe and bakery, and the nearest car park is by ASDA. The new fella in the local hotseat continues...

Here’s a theme that always deserves a mention – volunteering. Locally, there is the CNVA ( Crewe & Nantwich Voluntary Action ) based on Gatefield Street ( the end near to the Limelight ). They had an open day the other week that was formerly opened by Edward Timpson MP, plus the CNBC Mayor and Mayoress. In fact, the mayor is also the president of the organisation that acts as an umbrella for...

At first there were three, then a couple of late riders entered the race to be the Labour candidate who will take on Edward Timpson at the next general election. Tamsin Dunwoody ( snapped on Nanny Road during the by-election campaign back in May ) couldn't stop the Conservatives but maybe one of the new crowd will be a little more successful? However, Labour could certainly do with avoiding...

Local MP Edward Timpson was down in London last week presenting a petition against the downgrading and disbanding of the local First Responder service. He was joined by campaigners Cllr Bill McGinnis and Ann Ostredge, Rachael Broadhurst ( who recently lost her husband after First Responders were not allowed to attend a road traffic accident ) and a Cheshire First Responder. . Edward Timpson...

On Sunday morning at 11am there is a meeting at the Alexandra Stadium to launch a campaign to save 600 postal jobs in Crewe. Local MP Edward Timpson will be there along with union bosses, workers and council leader John Hammond. But will they achieve anything? The preferred option to shut sites at Crewe and Liverpool serves the best interests of the North West region - apparently. However, the...

A couple of weeks back I met up with Edward Timpson, new MP for Crewe and Nantwich (Cheshire) for a feature for the Big Issue in the North. Much was made during the by-election campaign earlier this year about Timpson's privileged roots - Labour Party activists waged a toe-curling battle against him clad in top hats and tails. It backfired spectacularly and the Tory overturned a huge...

Never nice to see a former colleague fall on hard times - and I've almost forgotten about the nauseating strategy she adopted in Crewe and Nantwich earlier this year, when she and her party ran a reptilian campaign against Edward Timpson, who won the seat for the Conservatives. But it was a sad little piece in Mandrake's column in the weekend Telegraph concerning former AM, Tamsin Dunwoody....

Slowly but surely there has been progress at the bus station. It's obvious that any rebuild over by the Phoenix Leisure Park is two, maybe three years away. So fair play to Arriva, Modus, local councillors and MP Edward Timpson who have all pushed to get things improved. The result isn't spectacular but the pillars, boarding and rails have all been painted, the unsightly cage/fencing has been...

If you thought that the local political scene would quieten down now that the by-election and Cheshire East stuff has passed, well, your wrong. The local Labour Party has started the process to select a new candidate to fight Edward Timpson for the Crewe & Nantwich seat at the next general election. David Williams ( pictured ) has decided to throw his hat into the ring. “I am committed to winning...

At the recent eLearning Network showcase event, I attended an interesting presentation made by Nick Timpson of my old firm Epic and Claire Little from leading psychometric test providers, SHL . SHL train something like 10,000 people a year to use their tests, most of whom are HR people. With Epic's help, SHL have moved from pure classroom-based delivery to a blend that involves self-study e-learning...

I have heard from several readers who said I incorrectly stated in a story about a lawsuit filed against the UEP Trust that advisory board member Don Timpson has never been a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Technically, that is true but I could have made it more clear that he does have ties to what was known as ''The Priesthood Work,'' or simply ''The...
