I don't recall the last time I kept a Christmas card for a year, where as calendars are very useful, especially when they have your democratically elected representatives details on them.

I agree that not everyone is as clued up as myself.
Neither am I saying, that Councillors should pay out of their own pockets to make people aware who their democratically elected councillor is. I am, however, pointing out that Labour Councillors did deliver Christmas cards, which they paid for themselves.
But the Christmas Cards, which the Labour Councillors delivered, had the name, address and a contact telephone number for their democratically elected councillor. They also had a list of other useful telephone numbers and had a calendar on the back of the card.
