Tonight to Sowerby Bridge for a joint meeting between Halifax Town Team and the Upper Calder Valley Renaissance. Sixty plus people gathered to talk about transport issues in the valley. We were a bit awkward together like teenagers on a first date but amazingly we got on. Although one person said it was like we didn't get beyond the flirting stage. Remarkably we had common concerns mostly about railways and stations.
If I had left at the very end of the meeting all would have been happy but some of those left behind began to tell me how they hated most of what we had done so far and they would oppose everything in the future. I'm not sure why but it seemed to be because they hadn't done it.
I was depressed but on reflection, it's a good thing that they are now involved and maybe as they become part of the process they will appreciate the work done so far and help us to see new possibilities. It could be the start of a beautiful relationship...
