Just realised there will be an election in Lewes in May 2016 - for Police and Crime Commissioner. If you can't get excited about that then what can you excited about. Just think of the cost for people to sit in the polling station all day watching tumbleweed... Still a day off school for Western Road again.

Been told in a letter from council that Western Road is not going to be a polling station again so no day off school.

Surely a Police Commissioner should only be elected if the proportion of eligible voters actually voting exceeds 50% - aligned with the new proposals for strike ballots.
Actually that might be a good rule for all elections.

For those not familiar with the name of Katy Bourne, she is the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner and it has been acknowledged that she has been one of the outstanding successes nationally of this relatively new role. She has been amazingly hard working, always listening to opinion in the county and constantly seeking to improve policing with resources available. For all our sakes, she thoroughly deserves to be re-elected in 2016. It is just a pity that the PCC Elections cannot coincide with other routine elections from a cost point of view.
