Hi all
David and Barbara are sending an emails to the Leazes Ward candidates.
We think it is important to talk with the local politicians as we push the subject of community resilence forward.

We are interested in learning more about how local politics work; in particular how we can motivate more people to vote for candidates who support strategies to make our local community more resilient to the financial crisis and diminishing resources.
The Leazes election is interesting to ourselves and our friends who live in the ward. We would be pleased to discuss these issues further with you and would like to arrange to meet.
Best wishes Barbara and David Grundey 01434 601138
