Results from last year’s local elections were:
The areas covered by the Pudsey candidates need looking at! I live in Alder Drive, Pudsey, I shop in Pudsey, my son attends Pudsey Adult Social Care Centre at Pudsey Leisure Centre, I bank in Pudsey, I volunteer with Pudsey in Bloom to improve how Pudsey looks to residents and visitors, but I can’t vote for a Pudsey Councillor, who can do things in Pudsey!
My friend lives in Lodge Rd, and her sons live in Somerset Rd and Thorpe Rd, and none of us can vote for a Pudsey Councillor. The boundaries are ridiculous, and need looking at. Pudsey people need to be able to vote for people where we live.
Why is that? Sorry I am a foreigner and don’t know why you can’t vote.
