Nominations to stand in the District Council elections on May 5 opened today. Why not stop critisising the local authority and stand for election instead? You can help take the blame for some of the crazier planning decisions, and you will earn over £6,000 a year, plus expenses AND a laptop computer. No naughty downloads though!
Full training (or is it indoctrination?) given. You will be up against the mighty party machines of the Tories and the LibDems, but “The Blog” will give a platform and a fair hearing to any candidate who puts themselves up. That includes the main parties too by the way, but we suspect they won’t bother.
“Blog” readers might do particularly well – the very helpful and informative leaflet issued by the council stresses a sense of humour is an important qualification!
Nominations close at noon on the 4th April.
