What the petition asks
Coronavirus has effected the country and world, I am aware it’s a highly contagious virus but special measures should be put into place.
I’m asking the government to reconsider there extended election time to August 2020.
I’m asking the government to reconsider there extended election time to August 2020.
Holding another election a year later can really mess up people’s choices to progress at job opportunities, some cllrs will be looking to stand down as they are getting to old etc.
they may have wanted to fulfil their full term rather than call a by election.
I’m asking for the government if Coronavirus settles down by August call local elections for August 2020 a year is a joke after hard campaigning from all candidates for may 2020 please reconsider your choice.
