A particularly busy time in the run-up to the Nottingham Returning Officer posting the postal ballots today. 

Still not had a Tory campaign to compare & contrast against and it appears that this is because they think they've won my ward already.  At least that's what one of their candidates has told a resident at a recent meeting. 

It's a tad arrogant but reflects the nature of the Tories in Nottingham.  Their Deputy Leader announced I'd lost my seat in March to full Council. 

Still, he also told the full Council about how maggots were a problem in bins because of their determination to get in, crawling all the way up the outside of the bin.  Oh yes.   

National trends do affect results, and there is an appetite to draw national conclusions from these elections, but the question voters are being asked is "who do you want to represent you from this ward on your local council?" 

And not everyone decides by national criteria.
