The bright weather on Wednesday encouraged me to venture out from behind my PC and take the elected executive mayor campaign to the streets.

Wearing an appropriate suit with my trusty rosette in place and clipboard in hand, Hayes Town and it’s traders were my first target. Cue many lengthy conversations, discussions about what needs to be done in our community,and a flurry of signatures. My thanks go to Debbie in the needlework shop for a very much needed cup of tea after an exhausting few hours!

The English Democrats team will be out across the borough over the next few months promoting a referendum on an elected executive mayor, the first stage of our campaign to make government more accountable to the public.

It is time to make local government work for you!
