2007 Local Elections...May is nearly here!

Here are the nominations for the Withington area.
I once again havn't got a clue who to vote for....probably like most, so I'll try and address that.

If you're not registered to vote, you have until Wednesday, April 18th! NOT LONG!

I invite any of the nominees to add as a comment their LOCAL manifesto's and why they should be elected on LOCAL issues. (We all know the national parties, but it would be good to get discussion on LOCAL issues).

The Elections take place on May 3rd.

Aparently there will be some discussion taking place on ALL fm (96.9 FM)
These will take place on April 17th and 24th between 3 and 4pm.
