I wish local councillors would have a few battle vans touring the local area like the Blues Bothers, Battle Bicycles in the case of the Green Party, sorry!<BR/><BR/>3) The council should really try to encourage as many % to vote on the day as possible. Hopefully with pro green, anti iraq, more confidence tories, and hopefully a gorgeously sunny day people should turn out. If begs a question should not election date be a holiday to get the voters out?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-88112073166761323942007-04-12T23:13:00.000+01:002007-04-12T23:13:00.000+01:00Thanks for these - I will chase up part II.FWIW I ...Thanks for these - I will chase up part II.<BR/><BR/>FWIW I think that Ramsay, BC, Wyatt and Driver will win.<BR/><BR/>Chrissie is lovely and really has the community at heart but hasn't done the leg work.

For the seven cllr East Ward they nominate just three candidates (leading to uncontested election of them and the 4 Labour in a ward where the Libs would have won 5 or 6) - what is really funny is that in the 1 member North East Ward they nominate THREE candidates! More amusing one has been disqualified because two candidates were nominated by the samer resident. However we now have an election with 2 Lib Dems and 1 Labour for 1 seat.<BR/><BR/>A word on the very poor show by the Conservatives who used to be very strong in Sprowston. Just one candidate nominated for one ward. What on earth is going on.<BR/><BR/>Labour are celebrating - they expected zero or one/two at most. They have four already and counting........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-73999928541075594172007-04-11T16:15:00.000+01:002007-04-11T16:15:00.000+01:00DriverRamsayWiiliamsBowthorpe..who knows?Driver<BR/>Ramsay<BR/>Wiiliams<BR/><BR/>Bowthorpe..who knows?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-34842796801423097972007-04-11T16:05:00.000+01:002007-04-11T16:05:00.000+01:00For me John is great one on one, and needs to put ...For me John is great one on one, and needs to put a twinkle in his eye, and a cheeky smile to appeal.

Blair Campbell (Green)is interesting and hopefully will be less cantankerous than last years Mr Bishop. John seems a genuine guy. I hope he can communicate the issues. He will have to knock on every door, raise the basic issues like graffiti and litter etc and leaflet to get in. Colour might be a thought rather than black n white, or Focusesque still? I think Bowthorpe is looking for another major player with teeth in council, who can push for resources and investment into Bowthorpe, get things done, rather than a timid follower and clone!<BR/><BR/>Resident EGLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
