It is perfectly true of course, only the Lib Dem candidate currently resides in the Shamblehurst ward. I have no problem with the Lib Dems making that observation in their campaign, but I feel that they've done it in the wrong way. They've chosen their words unwisely.
Portraying the older part of Hedge End as the "other side", isn't really going to help to build a sense of community in Hedge End, is it...?
It is more evidence, if it were needed, that the people who are currently in control of Hedge End, the Lib Dems, have the wrong mindset and are no longer the best people for the job.
Thank you for reading

Doubly strange as only about half the existing Lib Dem councillors live in the ward they represent.
i live in shamblehurst ward and my hedge- end independent candidate lives on the "other side" yet if i need to speak with him he is two minutes away. not really a problem is it.

Thanks Anon/Ray2.
I certainly don't think of myself as being on "The other side". Hedge End residents certainly won't need to hold a seance to get in touch with me...
If anybody does want to contact me directly, there's an email address in my profile. I live within walking distance of the Shamblehurst ward and I drive (of course) so I can easily come to see you if there is an issue that you would like to raise with me.
