	Web www.telford-live.com

A flat battery dashed my hopes of getting my bike out a couple of days this week, but the lighter mornings (I start work at 6:20am on Fridays!) give hope of brighter and warmer days ahead.As part of our community responsibility at Runtime and trying to do positive stuff to help, rather than moaning about things all the time, we have donated a content management website to the Oakengates Regeneration Project. Still in its early stages, but watch this space. http://www.oakengatesregeneration.comMahle, a global company making filters with a factory in Telford, is closing its facility in Salisbury and moving production and some jobs to other plants including Telford. Bad news for Salisbury folk, but a boost for Telford. An interesting comment came from the local Salisbury MP, Robert Key, who said ' I believe Telford is in a better location for Mahle's British customers.'. Could he have his eye on Mark Pritchards seat? ;o)Here's a round up of my pick of the forums:Post Round Up:St Georges Day 23rd AprilWhat will you be doing on St Georges Day?
