Good on ya’ Northern View - for following this.
It will be very useful information for those considering running. Hopefully we won’t end up with another cluster f*!k - resulting in the same council elected.
Thanks. The plan is to provide updates Monday to Friday up to and including October 10 when the nomination period closes, and the updates will come shortly after four p.m. each day.
