My goodness, there are enough of the power-hungry old guard standing again for Council for it to be of concern.
Not only did they lead the Council blindly into huge debt, but focussed on power politics whilst paying lip service to their electorates.
The zeitgeist of the moment is that voters have had enough of party politics in local government – Independents are the go.
However, the title of Independent is like the label on a jar – read the small print.
Our next councillors must work for local issues and accept genuine input from the people on the ground; no taking the party line and ignoring local voices.
More than ever before, voters must be careful where they place their X.
We can’t afford to be “Trumpian” and go backwards.
