Winchelsea by-election

I have been asked today what I will do if not re-elected. Interestingly, in considering whether to stand again, I had weighed up the option of returning to reporting on Council meetings as a member of the public, as I used to do for the Village Voice. With the unelected Peter Turner back at the helm of the ship of fools, that would seem a promising opportunity to amuse residents.
The by-election itself will offer lots of good stories, eg the offer of a free meal for votes by a former mayor.
