Door Stops
It seems that West Cheshire Council are propping up (or should that be open?) the local economy with by purchasing plenty of door stops. More info here.

Welcome to my blog.
I was elected as Councillor for Macclesfield West in May 2008. I live in the centre of the ward with my Wife and Westie, and when I'm not a Councillor I'm a Scout Leader and I run a small consultancy business.
I'm equally at home cycling around the town as I am walking the dog up Shutlingsloe – Macclesfield is one of the few places that can provide this town and country balance.
This blog is intended to give the residents of Macclesfield West an insight into the work that I am doing on their behalf. This could be better services and facilities for children and young people, or perhaps trying to achieve a better plan for the Macclesfield Town Centre redevelopment. At all times I'm keen on reducing costs and keeping council tax as low as possible.
The blog is intended to be little lighthearted at times, perhaps irreverent but never irrelevant. You're encouraged to comment on each post and have your say - it's a great way to debate the issues of the day.
How can I contact the Council?

Hmm. One of those things that sounds good in theory but doesn't often work out in practice. The purpose of a door isn't always to keep people out, it's often to provide a bit of privacy.
For example, when I had to go and tell my boss that I had to get on the next plane home because my father was very ill, and then promptly burst into tears (hey, I'm not proud), I was very grateful to be in a private office having that conversation. Yes, in an open-plan environment, I could have asked to meet my manager in a meeting room, but even that would prick the ears of co-workers, and what if the room was already booked for a meeting?
And the role of managers is such that they are often meeting with people or having telephone conferences etc, which just adds extra noise to an open-plan environment.
