District Council Election - The Crier Advises
Since none of the candidates lives in the village and few of us are therefore likely to know to them, we thought it might be helpful to have a bit more information about them and how they would tackle the hard act of following Charlotte Cane. We asked each candidate (at rather short notice as usual!) to provide a manifesto of between half a page and a page, optionally with a photograph of themselves. Their manifestos follow in alphabetical order.
Readers of the Crier at the time of the last District Council election will recall that we supported Charlotte's re-election because of her track record of taking an interest in local issues, like Dencora Field, and tirelessly representing her constituents' views. She was also one of our most reliable contributors (I cannot remember a single late article or one which didn't fit just-so on a page). So perhaps our choice will be of the candidate who seems most likely to carry on this tradition.
Advice on how to vote? As ever avoiding controversy, our advice is: at the Village Hall, on May 6th by making a single cross on the ballot paper. The serious bit of that being, do vote!
