While bemoaning the fact this England is not what I once knew, nevertheless we must take account of possible voter fraud.
Witham is not a fraudulent voter area though many other constituencies might be.
It is important for businesses and prospective homeowners choosing to come to Witham to know that we are not inclined to fraud.
This trial of voter identity at polling stations will distinguish Witham as a very good place to work and live once results of it are published.
I myself, will be happy to take two required documents to the polling station with me even though I will be a prospective district and town candidate on the election day.
Angela Kilmartin
District councillor for Witham Central and town councillor for Witham South
