Local election candidates etc

I just wondered if anyone gets a fae to face visit from perspective councilors nowadays.

Last time I saw one must have been about 25 years ago !

We got a leaflet today from the Labour party but no one called and the leaflet centre on things that are national or regional matters not local ones.

What could they possibly be saying in national matters in order to GAIN votes?

Not so far, unless one of them is deaf and dumb, and also selling dusters.

In Peel ward area here, Graham Jones’ leaflets were dropped in the area today. The leaflet is full of local issues, specifically initiatives within the constituency.

Not had any other leaflets or canvassing as yet.
