Closed Require local elections to be held annually

Closed on

We would like the Government to ensure local elections are held annually. We think this would give the people that pay the expenses of these councillors through their taxes, a choice.

At the moment, a lot of councils have 4 years of control once elected. Remember, these councillors are public servants. Therefore, we believe, we are their boss.

Make it law that no council can change how often we can vote unless the public asked for this. Again, these people are public servants, they work for the taxpayer.
