Parish Council Poll - Where did the candidates go?

Dear Editor
Where did all the candidates go?

The recent Poll on this site indicated that a dozen or more
residents were willing to put themselves forward for Parish Council.
Sadly we have ended up with just two new names, Jean James and Tony Hutt both of
whom deserve to be congratulated and indeed to get elected.
A couple of intelligent new councillors will perhaps provide
the catalyst for a refreshed Parish Council to put aside its recent differences
and collectively get on with working for the benefit of Hawkinge.
Good luck Jean and Tony.

Ok! I put my hands up I was indeed one who voted in that poll, I would have stood as a local Independent candidate.But after much thought decided that as I'm no longer a resident of Hawkinge, I would be like most MP's, not actually living (full-time)in an area that I would, if elected, be representing.So for those that are prepared to put their heads above the parapet, I wish them all good luck in the coming hustings.
For the rest of the pollsters I would urge them to do one last thing, that is go and vote for those people that will be representing them, after all, it is a bit hypocritical not to vote and just sit back in a sofa condemning the folks that mostly have the best interests of their fellow villagers and the village at heart.
