We were informed that it was Cllr Candler but he was at the March today.  I intend to ask him if he did say this and to explain his rational for doing so.

Just had a couple of phone calls from people who had gone to one of  the regular Sat Morning council surgeries in the library.   They say that they were advised that it was best  not to attend the protest March by the councillor holding this mornings surgery as there maybe trouble.  PR like that from one of our elected members is not acceptable. 

Do you know who it was? Surely if they had heard there was going to be trouble then it would have been their duty to report it to the police.

Another pic, trailling down Stockport Road, thanks to @lordroberts68.

I did Tweet another picture but it didn't come out so well. However, the Stockport Road picture was retweeted by @Stockport_info and by @Stockport_FOE (Friends of the Earth) so reached a fair few people across Stockport too.

[Mr Marple]

I've been told that our march had no less than 900 people to a huge potential 1000!

So the passionate people of Marple have shown themselves, and quite rightfully too, and will not be easily pushed over.

So far so good, keep it up people.

Absolutely brilliant turnout....any ideas on numbers?

I would have to guess 600+ were there. It was really quite something to see. Congratulations to all who participated but especially the organisers.

Well I hope today will give a clear message to the College that the people of MARPLE and surrounding areas say NO ! to a supermarket development on HIBBERT Lane .  What a fantastic turnout saying that we only had two weeks to plan it and it's right in the middle of the holiday season.   This is the first of many that are being planned the next ones will be organised for a week day .   

TEAM MARPLE !    WHAT A TEAM !!!!
