Dear John…
Dear Local Government...
Life isn’t easy. Sometimes we could all do with a bit of advice to get us through the day, whether it’s deciding what colour tie to wear or what jobs to apply for. Other times we just need to tell someone what we are thinking to get it off our chest.
So, with little further ado, here are some short ‘dear john’ style messages for you to enjoy. Happy Friday!

“The three years out of four when there aren’t elections” ???
There are elections EVERY B****Y YEAR! and it’s exhausting. I’d love to only have elections every four years and have less of the “oh no! if we do this we’ll lose next year!” short termism.
