It’s getting close

Today is the day that the statement of persons nominated to stand in the ever-closer local council elections is published. In fact, there is now less than 40 minutes before the noon deadline.

This morning, I looked on Medway Council’s website to see if they had published or if they were hanging out until the deadline. Their election page was the same as it was last month.

But when I looked at it five minutes ago, the previous two elections (2005 general and 2003 local), which had been linked to from the top of the page, had been archived under a new link, “previous elections”.

The hard-working Council webteam (who still have one Councillor listed as Conservative, despite the fact he resigned from the Party last month) are preparing for the impending election. I will list all candidates in Medway as soon as the statement is published.
