Kate Allsop… Positive
E
lecting me as Mayor of Mansfield will once again mean that the MDC element of
Council Tax will not increase. It was the Independents that first gave that commitment
and delivered it 11 times of 12 since 2003. There cannot be anyone in the District
who believes that a Labour controlled Council would have made this happen. Where the
Independents lead, Labour follows. It’s ever been thus.

than reacting to events.
David Saunders
Sandhurst
E
= Experienced: Always learning from
experiences; both good and bad.

anything. Not taking sides; supporting
everyone.
D

always asking why.
E
= Enthusiastic: Filled with enthusiasm;
dedicated and keen.
N

sense; planning, doing, checking,
changing.

integrity, honesty, ability and character.

Residents who want to vote in May but who are not yet registered must do so by 20 April. It only takes a few
minutes to register online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote or contact Electoral Services on 01623 463345 for a
paper application form. You will need your National Insurance number, if you have one.
“Registering to vote is much quicker and easier than you might realise. I would encourage as many people as
possible to register now so they can have their say on 7 May.”
Kate says “remember, decisions are made by those who
show up and vote! Make your vote count on May 7th.”
