Through the door this morning came the first election leaflet...a conservative "newsletter" with two sides of text and photos and a poster to put up in your window to show your support.
The tory boy candidate claims that labour forced the local police to cut the vice squad and this lead to increased gun crime. An interesting version of events given the recent cases about a well known Bestwood family buying a copper, and the turf wars between two teenage drug gangs.
In the same mail (amongst the pizza and curry deals) was the NG5 magazine. This included an article from the local Police commander expalining how his team had worked hard with the community to reduce crime in sherwood by 50%.
So crime is up according to the tory boy, and down according to the local police...hmmm
The NG5 magazine also included an article attacking the proposals to start charging for the car parks in sherwood. This was written on behalf of the Neighbourhood Watch. Not sure what charging for car parking has to do with crime reduction. What did disturb me was the call by the Neighbourhood Watch for people to vote for anyone but Labour in protest. I'm not sure that Neighbourhood Watch should be engaging in party politics and voting recommendations.
Still waiting to hear from the other parties...
