To call Oundle Town Football Club’s start to the Marshall Peterborough and District Football League season abysmal, would be an understatement. With various managerial changes, sitting rock bottom of the table and still yet to even win three points, the last thing they needed was a cup tie with league leaders, Whittlesey United.
Whittlesey came to Station Road full of confidence, looking down on every other team in the Peugeot Premier Division. Earlier on in the season Oundle were on the receiving end of a thumping 11-0 thrashing at home to Whittlesey. This time they were ready and were not going to let the team from Peterborough breeze through to the quarter finals with ease.
Louise Bagshawe is the conservative candidate who will be running against Phil Hope. After studying English at Oxford, she was a marketing person for Sony Records, before giving up her job to pursue a career as an author. She has since published many successful books, including Career Girls and Glamour. Inspired to become a politician by Lady Margaret Thatcher, she has been involved in politics since she was twelve. She briefly joined the Labour Party because she originally thought that Tony Blair actually represented Conservative issues, but disappointed in him, she rejoined the Conservative Party in 1997. She was posted on the Conservative A-list ahead of the next general election.
During the Oundle Chronicle interview, Louise said she wants to “work on getting Northants a fair deal from central government. Under Labour the county is constantly short-changed.” She predicts that the Conservative Party will win the next election, and take advantage of the “Rubbish” leadership of Gordon Brown. “Under Brown the Conservatives have hit 15 year highs in the polls.”
It has been 15 years since the Co-op opened in Oundle. Despite receiving a very mixed welcome at that time, independently-owned shops such as Trendalls, Oundle News and the Bakery had continued success, and the majority of Oundle still rely on these shops for many of their needs. Why, then, are many people still angry about the instalment of a Tesco?
The new Tesco is not like the Co-op. It is not a supermarket, hence the “Express” interjection; rather it is a miniature store of indulgence. For example, there is a copious variety of chocolate cakes and bars, crisp packets and sugary soft drinks. If you are around in the market and are determined on saving a few pennies, Tescos provides a fine replacement for the late One Stop and sadly, in many cases, the independently-owned stores.
