Why should councillors be allowed to stand for a ward when they do not live there?
I read what Mavis Childs said about her win on Walcot. I have lived in Walcot for more than 30 years why move away if Walcot is your love? However can you be in touch with its problems?
I never saw this councillor once during her campaign. Rules should be amended that a councillor standing for election must live in the community.
Also why did Coun Childs not get more involved in the stupid road design at Cumberland/Drove Road. Will it take a fatality before common sense prevails?
