As always I’m available on email at chris.cornell@councillor.Canterbury.gov.uk where I respond to people regardless of their political affiliation or interest.
However I was elected as a Labour councillor and think my friend Naomi Smith would be a fantastic new County Councillor if you want to lend her your vote. Whoever you do choose, please vote on Thursday - local politics do matter.

Please let's keep the community spirit flowing.
Be safe and take care from the team at WBR.
