Three of us (Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem)  have already been active and delivered election literature. I have also been out knocking on doors speaking to residents and carrying on my efforts of the last four and a bit years to help residents achieve the changes they want in the community.</p>
<p>I suspect the other two candidates activities will remain as active as they have been already. Sadly I suspect one of these two will finish in the top two, without delivering any literature whatsoever. I just hope it is in number two spot, behind me. Only time will tell!</p>
