This is all very encouraging. However it would be a huge step forward if all eligible to vote took an interest in local council. It is not good enough to say you never see your councillor – the responsibility is as much yours as theirs. Make your councillor accountable. Go to local surgeries held by your councillor – find out their views and make yours known. In reply to FWarp councillors may be nice people, but more importantly how often do they attend meetings, what do they say and how do they vote.
