May 2011 local elections

.
On May 5th we are asked to vote a “YES or NO” on the proposed AV system ( Alternative Vote). The AV system is intended to provide a much fairer system for the selection of a political representative and a replacement to the existing "First Pass The Post"

At the same time we will also be asked to vote for
BJ Parish Councillors and Gedling Borough Councillors

Those who are eventually elected need to be aware that we the community do need an “Open and Transparency” society, for we are mostly - adult with reasonable understanding and an acceptance for change when it is required. Change which is FREE from manipulation and any oblique mis-informing of OUR SOCIETY SITUATION/OWNED FACTS

We should and need to insist on OPEN and TRANSPARENT governance, which provides sensible and prompt decision making. We need decision-making free from procrastination - which absorbs so much valuable time, and public finance in materialising
.
PS - justice OR INJUSTICE ?

2009 BJ Parish Council handed down their own style of punishment (injustice) to two residents in our community. The decisions were taken by the BJPC behind closed doors without the opportunity of genuine appeal ( Councillor Blandamer was part of that decision)

2011 We see from the media that the present mayor of Gedling and Conservative Councillor for Burton Joyce ( Councillor Blandamer) has been "de- selected" as a candidiate for the coming May 2011 elections

Cllr Blandamer has said she had not been given the chance to appeal and had not received a valid reason why she was de-selected. "I do not believe that the constitutional rules have been followed throughout the process," she said.

Could this be an example of "you reap what you sow" ?
