Choosing candidates from the Local Body Elections has been made easier for me. I've received requests from three wanting my support, and placed in my letterbox. This, despite signage clearly stating ‘No circulars'. Sorry Bob Harnor, Mark Wassung and Rick Curach. This is a letterbox; it belongs to me and is on my property. I'm aware there is a claim that it is okayfor candidate's promotional material to be put in there.

This is not the point. For reasons I have outlined, to do so indicates that either the candidates concerned can't read, or worse, have no respect whatsoever for the wishes of the owners of these letterboxes. Whichever, I certainly won't be voting for any of these three or any others who might try to communicated with me in similar fashion. I hope others with letterboxes will follow my example.
