Further to my blog about the higher than inflation increase to the Council Tax, notably to get the Council Tax payer to provide the money to pay for the Government's attempt to employ the over 20,000 police officers that they had taken away since 2010 - the Police & Crime Commissioner precept increasing by 7.5% - local elections are here...
The BBC (website) provides a decent overview of what is up for grabs in Hastings, seats for Hastings Borough Council, East Sussex County Council, and the Police & Crime Commissioner. So, whether you support or don't the Conservatives in charge of the county and Police & Crime Commissioner, or Labour in charge of Hastings, tomorrow is your chance to have an influence, indeed, even if you want to show support for, or dislike of, central Government.
If we don't vote, can we really complain folks?
