Summary

Fallon tells Lynda that Harrison’s got an interview for a new police job. When Lynda asks Fallon if she’s had any more ideas about the fete, Fallon suggests asking Eddie. But Lynda says he’s being very one note in his suggestions so far. Talk turns to the charging station meeting later and Fallon shares her concerns about the plans for a shop and café there. There’s a large turnout at the meeting and before it starts, Jim tells Lena Manzoor from CellCharge that there’s lots of opposition to the charging station. When Jim says he’s prepared a short speech, Lena suggests he goes on first. Jim outlines his objections to the charging station’s proximity to the village and distance from any major highway. When Lena takes the floor, she smoothly counters Jim’s arguments. When Lena takes questions from the audience, Fallon asks about the proposed shop and café. Lena says they’ll be open to bids from all local businesses, but she won’t be drawn on how local. Afterwards Fallon tells Lynda she doesn’t feel reassured. She’s not sure she believes a word of Lena’s speech, and she’s worried. Jim thinks it was a major error for him to speak first at the meeting because it gave Lena time to get her counter arguments lined up. Lynda says most people seem to be convinced by the Station. Nonetheless Jim says he will hold Damara and CellCharge to account, and if they deviate from what they’ve promised Jim will be on to them.
