In just over two months (or somewhat less in the case of those with postal) votes we will be going to the polls to elect our town councillors and district councillors. These are important community posts and the decisions taken, while not as dramatic as the chancellor's announcements in today's budget, are nevertheless important and to a greater or lesser extent, will affect us all.
Rye News is going to repeat its policy of previous years and we will be giving every candidate an opportunity to make their case for election through these pages. So if you are proposing to stand for either council and are proposing to submit your nomination form to RDC in Bexhill (forms must be submitted between 10am March 27 and 4pm April 4), please contact Rye News by email - info@ryenews.org.uk.
Please note that between now and the election, party political statements, other than as mentioned above, submitted either as articles or comments, may well be restricted. There is only so much party politics that those not standing for election can take! Comments and discussion on the general working of either of our councils, however, is welcomed, as always.
