Re: Local Elections 2026

I spoke to the reform candidate in the ward I was working in yesterday and he said he hoped he would win because he reckoned being a councillor would 'Be a right laugh'.

The one saving grace is only a third of the seats were up for election so it may not be as catastrophic as it could be.

Re: Local Elections 2026

I believe you have to return the old one when applying for the new one, I now have to do it every 3 years.
