It's nearly time to say NO to a MAYOR for BANES

It is nearly decision time about how we want BathNES Council to be run. The Mayoral Referendum will be held on the 10^th March. If you are a postal voter you will have already received your ballot papers.

Lib Dems, Labour, Tories and Greens have all campaigned against having an elected Mayor. First and foremost we think it concentrates too much power in the hands of one person. Elected ward councillors will have very little say, pet projects of the mayor will get priority, vulnerable groups will be neglected and important local issues might be ignored. It also costs a lot more money.

However the outcome of the referendum is not a foregone conclusion. So please make sure you use your vote in the referendum on 10^th March to throw out this pointless and costly proposal to change our current system.
