Election Update

Local Elections 2016

Things have been really busy in the last few weeks following the notice for the Local Elections.  This year they will be held on Thursday 5th May and, if you have registered, you will have had your polling card delivered (you do not need to take this to the polling station but will only be allowed to vote if you are registered).  If you registered for a postal vote you should have received it last Friday (22nd).

The team and I have been really busy delivering our main election leaflet which showed details of what we have done and achieved over the last 12 months.  All houses in Standish should have received one but if you have not had your copy, please email us at debbie.parkinson2016@gmail.com and someone will deliver one to you. We have had lots of lovely comments on the leaflet and on its positive stories.

1400 Postal vote letters have also been delivered to those registered.

Canvassing has taken place in various areas around Standish and we have had a fantastic response from people in their homes.  Last Saturday Lisa Nandy MP joined us and residents made us both welcome on their doorsteps. It is lovely to meet so may friendly people. 

I have lost count of the emails and messages we have had supporting us.  Of course there are those that do not, but that is what it is all about, democracy.

Posters and garden stakes have been requested and these are being delivered and you will see them around Standish in the run up to the election.


Here are Wigan Council Labour Party Pledges for 2016 which I will back if elected. More details on the blog next week.

If you need a lift to the polling station on 5th May, please let us know.  We will be happy to help.
