It's that time again and politicians expect us to swallow their election propaganda and vote them in as well-paid part-time councillors.
To date we have received two expensive leaflets each from the Conservative and Labour Party candidates. Both claim to be local Broadheath residents but in fact live outwith the ward.
Both give e-mail addresses for correspondence. We contacted both candidates not once but twice and failed even to get an acknowledgement far less an answer to our questions!
They can't even be bothered to reply so we won't be voting for either of them!
My disabled wife has a postal vote and checked details of the five candidates as detailed on the ballot paper. Out of the five 'local' candidates only one, the Green, actually lives in the ward.
He has our votes.
