Victory for parking campaign

I've just returned to the office after putting the papers to bed. It has been a busy old day and wasn't helped by the fact the fire alarm went off just as we were about the send the last couple of pages. Sometimes you can't help but feel everything is against you!
Anyway despite all of this I think we have some very strong stories and two of the best papers of the year so far.
Since January we have been running a campaign 'Free not Fee' to try and get Chiltern District Council to abandon their plans to introduce parking fee where previously there weren't any.
On Tuesday we discovered we have had success in Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont St GIles and Little Chalfont. However the areas where they didn't kick up as much fuss, Amersham and Chesham, are still being looked at for the possibility of introducing fees.
As my reporter said "You snooze, you lose". Hopefully these towns will now react.
Now I just have to cross my fingers the printers don't send the wrong pages to the wrong paper, which they seem to have managed to do for the last two weeks, thus undoing our hard work!

Doh ! No wonder the Advertiser/Examiner are sinking with you as editor. Bring back Tony White !!!
The best papers of the year were when O'Hare worked there.
How rude!
