Local Elections
It is local elections time and it is nice to see the borough council wasting so much money even before the vote. At first I received a polling card stating my polling station would be the “Youth & Community Centre” in the local park as usual. A couple of days later I noticed a blue portakabin had been placed next to it. Moving on a further few days, I received a new polling card stating my polling station would now be “Mobile Unit – Youth & Community Centre”.
Today I have had a note pushed through the letter box from the official returning officer informing me that my polling station now won’t be the “mobile unit”, instead it will be “Barrow Hall Community Primary School on Barrow Hall Road”. Hopefully there won’t be a 4th alteration to the location – it is hovever concerning that the council has got the address of the school wrong in that it is actually located on Barrow Hall Lane…
Going with my method of deciding who I should vote for from the last election (which in the end resulted in me voting Green Party) i.e. “I will vote for whoever bothers to make the effort to canvas my vote”, so far the Lib Dem candidates are the only ones who have made any effort this time round. They are going on the “improved bus stops” and “improved drainage to the road outside the local shop” ticket…
