--- just very brief comments (both work & personal), as often as possible, that's all :-)
Good luck but I'm concerned that Labour has made some serious errors in this campaign (e.g. lack of apledge to reform council tax and outlining the future of devolution).
I'm also concerned that the knife crime policy doesn't come across well.
I don't think the voters would really miss the posters, if the Council can just agree that nobody should put them up. Then the activists and councillors like yourself would have more time for conversations with people, which I think most people do appreciate - everybody wants to be listened to. Posters don't listen. Hope Thursday's vote in the Council brings in a ban on the dreaded lamp-post posters!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment.
Very divided opinions on this issue - across all the Parties - so not sure what will happen on Thursday!
Personally, whilst I think you make valid points, I'm in favour of keeping them.
