With the local elections on May 2, I was wondering how may of those who say they can do better will actually come out from behind their keyboards and monitors and stand.

Ladies and gentlemen if you want to stand the closing date for nomination papers is 4pm on April 3.

On another note I hope we get a bigger turn out of voters then in the last few elections.

If people don't vote you will keep getting the same old faces. If you don't vote, you can't moan.
