Ben Bradley {who?} for mayor

(1/2) > >>

Sorastro:
Having received our polling cards for the 2nd May election presumably to elect a Police and crime commissioner {salary 78k per year} and not forgetting a Mayor I have had just a very quick look at the candidates and what they offer in the leaflet that came with the poll cards.

It is alleged.........
Among Ben Bradley's promises, as Mayor, is one claim to "fix Derbyshire's roads". Apparently at the moment Ben is the Council leader of Nottingham County Council and there appears to be an online petition for him to resign due to the appalling state of Nottinghamshire's roads.
As for the prospective incumbent for the role of police commissioner it would appear she has been in the D.T. over plans to demolish a perfectly good police station in Killamarsh  and spend over a million building a new one, whether this expenditure is totally necessary remains to be seen.

Either way I won't be budging come May 2nd.

Page 2 of this weeks D.T.--word seems to be spreading!

Sorastro:
So tomorrow's the big day, if what I've read about Mr. Bradley is anywhere near the truth I shouldn't think he'll earn enough votes to retain his deposit...still stranger things happen in politics, there is talk of trying to get Boris to come back and that wouldn't surprise me in the least.

smithy266:
I am on polling clerk duties tomorrow...and will take along a good book to read...not expecting queues of voters.. but: you never know!

Sorastro:
There's an extended programme on tonight giving the results as they come in, might just see how you know who has done.

If he's voted in as Mayor there's something drastically wrong, either his opponents are a tin of beans and Donald Trump or he's the only one in the race...........we shall see.
