www.abplgroup.com - Asian Voice 17th May 2014
Every British Indian household is busy debating about the 'Modification' of India, almost over shadowing the upcoming local elections in Britain on 22 May 2014. Participation in local election, whether as a candidate or as a voter, is very important, especially as they affect our lives on a day to day basis. Whether it's council tax, education, social services, waste collection, planning and regulation- one ultimately has to turn to their local council. This year there are many new candidates standing from different councils and wards. However, a common trend in London boroughs shows that there are much less Hindu or Sikh candidates, though there is a surprise increase in Muslim representations. For your perusal, here is a comprehensive (though not exhaustive) list of candidates from your community in your locality. It is important that you vote and have your say in this upcoming elections. This is your country, and it's future, even at the grass root level, is entirely in your hands. BARKING AND DAGENHAM COUNCIL
