One thing which struck me from that article and which sadly I have to agree with is that the turn out at local elections is pityful and for those that do vote they do so as a sort of comment on whoever is in power in Central Government regardless of policies of the local candidates.

Apathy.

We on AccyWeb are interested in our borough and what goes on here (or fails to go on here as the case may be) but how do you motivate others to take enough of an interest to actually want a shake up and something DONE?
