Bob Blastock, we need more like him

Bob Blastock is one of the people that you see everywhere.  I first met him about five years ago when I went to a meeting of the Over Stoke history group.   I wasn’t really that active in local politics at the time, confining myself to delivering a few leaflets and so I didn’t get to many Residents’ Association meeting or Area forum meetings.  Since getting involved I’ve seen Bob at Wherstead Road Residents Association meetings, talking about local history in St Mary’s at Stoke, doing his bit about the cement ship noise, meeting with Malcolm Robson about the bus service, well just about anything.

He used to be a very active member of the Labour Party, although that’s trailed off (as with many people in Bridge) and he’s one of the people who keeps the life of the ward moving along.  We need more like him

He’s now retired formally from the Wherstead Road Residents Association, but I’m fairly sure we’ve not ssen the last of him.
