A severe shortage of new candidates here in the Whittlesey District, however there are 3 Labour, 3 Conservatives 2 Green and 2 Independents standing, some live near locally and some not so.
However the one question I would always asked a prospective candidate is….
How many Council meetings (Be in the Full Council or any Committee meeting) have you attended in the past 3 months…..
I can tell you only One Candidate has shown interest in what is happening that Candidate is Mr Barry Wainwright (Independent) who lives in Eastrea and has attended at least 3 such meetings.
I wonder if any of the others bother to come to this weeks Full Council meeting?
Not a great deal on the Agenda – but some interest would be welcome whatever group you are standing for….
