from the past
For five years on the button has been reporting on events, pulling together pieces of history and publishing some old
pictures in and around Arlesey. This month we thought we would show some of the events covered from 2012 onwards.

PM comes to Arlesey
November
2012
Not long after starting ‘on the button’ I was asked if I wanted to take
some pictures at an event with a VIP. I said yes not knowing who the
VIP was. It was a Press Conference for the Conservative candidate for
the Bedfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner Jas Palmer.
Organised by Arlesey residents Association it was at the W.I. Hall in
the High Street. Attended by a group of residents and local dignitaries
the cameras were there from national TV networks too, and televised
the same night.
The then Prime Minister David Cameron came along also to throw
his weight behind the campaign. The event was soured not long after
when the councillors at the time heard about it after the event, having
not been invited.
