Rob Saunders 
I have lived in Pokesdown for 23 years.
I am Treasurer of Pokesdown Residents Association, and am project manager for the new "Village Green" being made with the help of £22,000 from the Lottery.
Before retirement, I did interesting Customs work at Heathrow, I demanded excise duties from gin warehouses in London, gave benefits to pensioners and caught fraudsters from Department of Social Security. Then in the Health Department I helped manage the Chernobyl disaster with other Government Departments. After that I finished up advising Government Ministers.
What was I? ….
Of course, I was a Civil Servant!
In Bournemouth, I have always been active in local issues. As well as the project for Pokesdown Green, I have been involved with Bournemouth East Police meetings, a Single Regeneration Board for Boscombe, and Sect 17 of the Crime and Disorder panel.

We have become weather-worn by the constant trickle of 'meddling Brussels bureaucrat' headlines and the downright barmy tales hot from some of Britain's Eurosceptic newsdesks.
The bluster caused by these headlines often glosses over some far more important misconceptions, which are also vital to nip-in-the-bud.

A memorial to those who died in Bournemouth during the bombing raid on May 23, 1943 will be unveiled at about 12.30 on May 23 2013 at the Lansdown, Bournemouth. Put the word out!
At around 1300, the RAF Memorial Flight will fly over the memorial, at the same time as the raid took place 70 years ago.
70 years ago,131 people, mostly civilians, were killed in a raid by 22 German bombers on the Metropole Hotel in Bournemouth. 50 or so of the servicemen killed were Canadian soldiers, and many of their families will attend, as will the Royal British Legion.
