Southborough Town Council has the same powers as a parish council, yet it is fought over by the political parties and as a consequence politics rather than common sense feature in its deliberations and decisions. Fortunately parish councils are rarely contested along party lines.
The Labour Party, Conservative Party, Liberal Democrats and United Kingdom Independence Party have nominated candidates for the forthcoming by-election.
I am delighted to report that an Independent has entered the fray and I hope he performs well, particularly if his campaign is to register a protest vote against the imposition of a Tesco store on Southborough, or any other inappropriate development for that matter.
