Dear all,

Don’t forget to cast your vote in today’s county council and European parliament elections.

CTC are a non-political body so we are not going to try to influence who you vote for, we just want to make sure that you cast that vote. That, after all, is what democracy all boils down to. If you don’t vote then you can’t complain about who gets in.

Has your councillor been a good councillor ? Has he or she taken up issues on your behalf, have they supported constructive initiatives or are they just dead wood, frustrating attempts to improve the world ?

If they are good, give them your support. If they are rubbish, vote them out.

Two honourable mentions that I would like to give for councillors who have shown a positive attitude towards cycling go to David Billing in Hitchin and to Doug Drake in Royston. The choice of who you vote for is of course yours, but DO go out and VOTE for somebody.

Polling stations stay open until 10 pm (or at least mine does, check your polling card).

Regards
