They can’t get enough of this blog…

Up at County Hall, officers and politicians alike keep up to date with political maneuverings and gossip here.
But it’s not always convenient to log on. If you’re not near your laptop it can take an age to load this website on an iPhone.
Never fear. I’m always looking for new ways to engage folks with the local political scene, and now you can log on in double-quick time.
Visit the blog using your iPhone at the usual address and you’ll get a simple interface (right) which takes seconds to load. The content is still the same.
