Make your vote count

Staff ReporterSouthern Gazette

I APPLAUD Michele Nugent’s editorial in the September 17 edition on the coming council elections, urging us to firstly examine what those nominating stand for and secondly to actually vote in the coming council elections.

Aside from the proposed amalgamations, there are a number of issues on the table that we all need to take account of before casting our votes.

These are real possibilities if the Canning Bridge vision or Telstra site proposals proceed.

Ask those who want your vote what they stand for.

Go ahead, ask the questions and then cast your vote.

This election is too important not to have a say.
