Apathy reigns in Rusthall

Only 6 candidates for the 9 seats on Rusthall Parish Council.  I was opposed to the formation of the council in 2011 and, apart from 2011, there has never been an election for parish councillors.  Councillors have been either returned unopposed or co-opted.  However this year is a first.  The council will start the municipal year with only two-thirds of its seats filled.

The council should never have been formed.  Sadly it is almost impossible to scrap a parish council......but we can hope.
