The money would be better spent malking sure there is easy access to police services.
Small towns are having their police stations closed down.

I saw nothing from any of the candidates, and if I had not the facility to go online I would have known absolutely nothing about them...and what I found online was not particularly helpful.
The management of the election was abysmal. If the candidates appear(prior to election) to have no interest in the areas they are going to represent, then it doesn't give those whose votes they rely on, any confidence in voting for them.

Just my point of view.
And my reason for not voting...it wasn't apathy, but lack of relevant information to make a choice.
yes, nice to see they couldnt be bothered spending any of their money on any sort of campaign, only ours on the salary, tv adverts, polling etc, woulld have been much better spent on the ground
