An indifferent BJ community - NO!
.
The BJ Community
Why is it that our community apparently has little or no interest in the choosing and running of our Parish Council ?
One reasoned answer may be that BJ has a community consisting of White Collar workers, Upper Management and Professionals , Self employed, Business executives , and Upper End Earners etc. This coupled with the fact that 50% of the BJ population are Over 50 yr old ( actually more than half of these are also Over 60), plus.. 35% aged between 35 and 50 yr old. The majority of BJ within these sectors being high value home owners with only a few Local Authority Households .
The recent local elections resulted in - 46% voting Conservatives. 27% voting Liberal and only approx 20% voting Labour, - a significant statement made by the community
These facts infer that the vast majority of the adult BJ population have experienced and come through difficult times before, Food rationing “Yes really”, with miners strikes, industrial redundancies/closures, devaluations , economic crisis situations, foot and mouth epidemics, spend and bust, inflated house prices etc., etc .
One result of these experiences probably is why the majority of our community can and do fend for themselves - they have the confidence and capability to manage their own affairs and use their social time without the intrusion of a – A Parish Council - which contributes little to their individual lifestyle –
It is also worth noting that situations such as opposing the “Mineral Extraction “ , the Bus Plug and the initiative for Flood Defences were actually community/resident lead
