| Failures of the current incumbents have already been listed and these are just the tips of the iceberg. One or two will have noticed my own personal grievances and passions but if I had to cite one example of why this cesspool need hoofing out it would be the debacle at Leeland Terrace with the collapse of Henry Construction and the alleged misappropriation of £millions of OUR money. On the face of it, this matter is at best negligent and at worse criminal in respect of the money and allowing shoddy construction to get as far as it did and then leaving the site to rot away. The only local councillor I ever had any time for was David Millican. Sadly his central party let him down as did those of us who voted for them. I witnessed a stand up row in Lammas Park last year between an impassioned local and Cllr Paul Dismall. The mantra back from Dismall shocked me - he basically said he’d been elected with a record share of the vote and he’d be in power for as long as he wanted to be. That was a real eye opener for me and if nothing Elers proves why you need to keep these people you elect to account and on their toes. My vote will be for another party - one of the “swivel eyed loons” (handy hint - not the Greens!!!) but that is more from a place of they can’t be any worse, might have fresh energy and (admittedlyh a slight slant on national issues. Sadly I’d say it’ll be the same old same old due to demographics and mobilisation of certain sectors of the vote as has been witnessed oop North recently. However, you never know and I’d encourage everyone to use their vote as this is a cornerstone of our democracy |
