A plane was rented from an airfield in Lincolnshire
This year’s local elections are just under a week away, but with some voter turnouts dipping as low as 16% last time round, there is a real problem facing democracy.
It’s easy to see why some of the more common comments on stories in the local media include “I won’t be bothering”, “they’re all the same” or “it’s not worth it”. In 2019 the Gainsborough East seat in West Lindsey saw just 16% of its electorate turn out, down 3.1%, while Grantham Earlesfield in South Kesteven had a turnout of 18.9% and Spalding St Paul’s in South Holland saw just 19.3% give their vote.
