Campaign for 2010 starts again

This morning along with my colleagues Zenia and Richard and a few helpers we were out talking to people in Pollards Hill and listening to their concerns. As councillors, engaging with the local community all year is vital and this will be an ongoing part of our campaigning over the next four years.

Campaigning outside of elections is a key to success, the old adage ‘we only see you at election time' is certainly not true in this area or in Mitcham and Morden we campaign all year round as it is important that we do not get complacent or take the electorate for granted. That is a major reason why we held 27 out of 30 seats in the area at the recent local elections, one of the highest numbers in the country.
