A quick glance at my blog will show anyone who is interested what myself and Cllr Grayson do for Rishton. I'm just lucky enough to work from home a lot of the time and so can answer forums posts more or less straight away.
The views of the voters ultimately decide which of us make up the 35 seats on the council but how are they supposed to make informed decisions if they aren't aware of what is actually going on?
It was put to me several times whilst canvassing that some councillors are only heard from at election times and Accyweb is simply one of several ways of ensuring that will not be the case with this particular elected representative.
Some may see discussions as political bickering whereas the actual intention is simply to make people more aware. Many others post on these message boards and have cleared up matters which would otherwise have left the general public badly informed both politically and non-politically.
