Young voters should register says Rosie Sharpley
Rosie Sharpley expressed concern today at the recent report by the Electoral Commission about voter registration. Rosie said "I was particularly concerned by the finding that 56% of people between the ages of 18-24 haven't registered. I can understand why young people are alienated from the political process at the moment, but I hope many will realise in time that this election does have great potential to change the politics of the UK for good. If elected I will vote for fair voting so that every vote in every election counts and we can end the two party duopoly of Tweedledum and Tweedledumber."

The County Council, which ignored repeated warnings from the Environment Agency to take action and start work on the restoration of the site to comply with statutory requirements, had allocated just £4.3 million in their spending programme to 'cap' the site. Preliminary estimates by experts suggest that the work could cost local taxpayers up to £10 million.
