BEST OF LUCK FOR THURDAY.WHO EVER WINS PLEASE BE SURE TO HOLD YOUR PROMISES.
BEEN VERY ENTERTAINING THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IN THE POLITICAL SECTION AND FEEL THAT WE KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE PERSON WHAT ARE UP FOR THE VOTE.

Thank you I am sure either one of us will be up to the job.

Perhaps we should make sure this forum is a soundiong block for all our Councillors a sort of online surgery with confidential replies where required using the PM system.

It woudl be quite a good way of keeping in touch.

Just a thought for whoever is elected I enjoyed the banter.

Chuck

I totally agree Chuck, this forum would work well as surgery for all the councillors elected.

Though a little advertising and marketing of the idea would have to be implemented.

Good luck one and all.

Thanks to everyone who's participated.

I've enjoyed it too.

Perhaps I'll see you at the count on Friday, Peter and Chuck? It would be nice to shake hands, regardless of the outcome.

perhaps a glass of something - my shout also regardless,

I too would like to wish the three of you the very best of luck and thank you for your time and effort that you have put into this forum by answering a lot of very diverse questions on policy matters.

If only we could get more Calne (and without) councillors, either elected or candidates, onto here to use this forum as some sort of cyber soap box then I'm sure that the people of Calne will actually know something a bit more about who they are going to vote for.

I have tried since the creation of the Calnetalk forum (nearly 2 years now!) to get more elected representatives onto this forum so that we can voice our questions and hear their views on various matters that affect us in our daily lives. I have e-mailed the three main parties as well as Calne Town council with an invitation to join in on the political debates that are going on but have not had any success, in fact none of the main parties, at local level, even acknowledged my e-mail. I have tried to contact Calne Town Council twice via their official e-mail address but have not even had a reply.

Given this poor response, could I please ask that which ever of the three of you who get elected on Thursday please push a few more of the local councillors onto this forum to enter into some sort of dialogue with their electorate.

Thankyou.

i think chucksidea is a good one and what gtb has said .by you guys who are on here we have learned so much about the person rather than the party which is so important when voting.

i find it dissapointing that they never even replyed to your email thats just shocking

It's so true,

I actually live in calne south/cherhill ward and feel i know more about the calne north candidates than any of my own .... by a long shot.

This sort of internet debating should be made more prevalent and advertised and i would imagine the the responce would be just fantastic.

Perhaps coucillors could set up sessions for a couple of hours a week and have an open questions and answers from there elective public .... what a great way to be actively involved with there voters in there own homes !.

As a moderator here, i'd actively help in any way i could to set something like this up, as would the others !
