Its sounds more like a prison sentence than a "calling" for the community.

And I don't think it should be. Voters will vote for the candidates they think will best represent their interests and who will do the best job for the City of Kingston.

I like that , Eric .

How about an exchange ?

Your councillors for ours . I am sure they would love Hyndburn . I keep reading that it is the place to be .

You don't have to be made, but it helps a hell of a lot if you are

I've said it before but you get out what you put in.

I have thrown myself into it and am loving every second, more or less. For me, it pays to be seen out and about in your ward working with people to help your community and the feeling of satisfaction when you get thanks for solving a resident's problem is priceless.

Conversely, you could bury your head in the sand for four years and still get your allowances. It all depends on what sort of person you are.

Can't say I've come across many councillors of any colour that subscribe to that Ken
