Some of the Candidates for the Ketton By-election attended a briefing at Rutland County Council
this evening.
Although I could attend I chose not to and sent a delegated person a good friend of Rutland County Council
Helen Pender. I remained outside.
The UKIP Candidate did not attend.
The Conservative attended with his Agent Councillor Lammie.
The other Independent also attended.
I was impressed with his good relationship with the Tory or it might have been a very green choice for
them tom share a car to and from Ketton
A presentation was shown and I have been provided with a copy.
One line stands out printed in RED under the heading The Count "No photography will be permitted"
I wonder why this authority is so backward?
as at the 17 May 2013 there are a total of 2,279 Electorate 383 of those are registered for a postal vote.
There is a spending of £600 + 5p per elector
I think I can find 5p in my pocket that is a start.
Public Awareness
Everyone should have by now received a polling card and statutory notices have been displayed on the Councils web site. A terrible sit e to navigate, I often hear this complaint. Even one of my Solicitors found it impossible to find a notice.
The Council will issue press releases and radio articles.
