Tomorrow is local election day in Bracknell and in many parts of the UK.
Please when you vote, do so on local issues and try to choose the best candidate or candidates you can for your borough and town council. It's a big shame when local councillors work hard for you and lose or indeed don't work hard and win based on national issues, which are out of their hands. Please remember that this is a local election and should be about local issues and about the qaulity of the can, this is the best way to get the best possible candidates in our council.
Polls are open from 7am to 10pm and you do not need your voting card to vote.

Thank you to the many of you who voted for me yesterday and the many friends that I gained and renewed during the campaign. We gave the established Councillors a good run for their money with 1,059 votes, but unfortunately I was 400 short of the line.

ReplyDeleteLastly congratulations to the 3 Councillors elected and I trust that they will actively pursue the pledges made during the election. I will be back ;-)
