As a campaign group having no political status we are delighted to congratulate Cllr Julian Daly and his team on their election . We pray they will listen to all of us - residents , councillors of all persuasions and our families and bring about change for the better. This is not the time or place for points scoring. It's time for hope and a time for action. The people delivered their verdict on 5th May 2011. New Council Team ,you have a mandate to get stuck in ! We wish you well! HERTSAD 19th May 2011- NEW ST.ALBANS COUNCIL REVEALS PRIORITIES!
 "Problems with the planning service and a fresh look at the Westminster Lodge leisure centre scheme are top priorities for the new Conservative administration of St Albans council which took the reins last night. Cllr Julian Daly was elected as leader of the council. He said he would be meeting with council chief executive Daniel Goodwin and head of culture and development Richard Schwe to “get our teeth straight into Westminster Lodge” - the new St Albans leisure centre scheme which has generated an outcry from supporters of a larger pool." Elsewhere in the Hertsad hard copy version, page 10 today, they carry a piece by newly elected Cllr Steve Bowes-Phipps entitled " Villages' Revenge"-all about Bricket Wood closure and Westminster Lodge - well said and welcome Sir! On page 11, senior correspondent Philip Webster also weighs in yet again re the Lodge and more .Hats off to all of you, editors , councillors and people as a new era dawns - the real winner is democracy - let us never forget it!
MAYOR MAKING CEREMONY - COUNCIL OFFICES 18 MAY 2011 AT 7 PM START.
 What on earth has the above to do with PoolTooSmall and it's supporters? Plenty. For the first time in decades you will be able to witness the most unforseen transfer of power in the St.Albans Council Chamber. Not only will you see the handover of the Seals of Office of the Mayor and Deputy but the high drama of hopefully the appointment of a new Leader of Council and Cabinet and perhaps 8 totally new key Portfolio Holders . Massive personnel changes indeed!This is the business end of what we the people voted last Thursday 5th May 2011 - a vote for change. Time for you to exercise your democratic right on the night to meet , lobby, congratulate or even console your Councillors , old or new , incoming or outgoing. These are the people who we are now entrusting with a fresh mandate to tackle the Newbodge fiasco.
Never ever forget , or let them forget , that they are elected to serve us the people and not the other way round!
This should be a joyous family occasion with a serious bite to it. Please wear or bring a homemade PoolTooSmall sticker , optional snorkel , bathing cap or swimming goggles! The PoolTooSmall photographers will be there for our website .
PLEASE BE THERE WEDNESDAY 18 MAY 2011 AT ST ALBANS COUNCIL OFFICES.
MEET US OUTSIDE BETWEEN 6PM AND 7PM FOR INFORMAL PICTURES.
HAVE A GOOD ONE! AN ADJOURNMENT TO A NEARBY HOSTELRY IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY!
