The recent article on the East Midlands mayoral election has stirred a pot of opinions, highlighting a complex interplay between political manoeuvres and public sentiment.
Concerns have been voiced about the cost of the East Midlands mayoral election after it was claimed one million more leaflets are being printed than needed. Independent candidate Matthew Relf says recycling bins will be the biggest beneficiary of the election on May 2
Readers were quick to share their views on the election. One reader, Januspilot joked: "Keeps printers in a job, and bin men collecting them up for recycling." Peterpensioner says: "County council deal with potholes, now regional Mayor will deal with potholes, the government give money for potholes. Potholes did not exist when we had Beeston Borough Council back in the 1960s."
Warrenred asked: "I don't recall being asked if we wanted a mayor. Whatever happened to democracy. More money down the drain. Hope everyone has the good sense to mark their ballot papers with "none of the above". Won't change a damn thing but at least it will show the so-called powers that be that we don't support this folly."
