In Sainsbury's car park handing out leaflets. My, my it was cold that evening.
Lots of people had already been to vote and some had voted for me. Many more decided to go and vote after they saw me freezing.
One chap said I 'd soon warm up if I had 100,000 wage. Comedian LOL
I visited all the local polling stations and thanked the staff for their evenings work.

Have you found your VOTE 4 CATH sticker in your paper today? Secret supporters have hidden stickers in news papers and the Metro to remind you to vote.

Many thanks to the Dialogue Society for inviting candidates and public together for an interesting two way debate.
I learned we can have 8 Independent representatives on the Police and Crime Panel so why have they restricted the posts to only 2 people?
8 Independent representatives of the public would really balance the decision making process.

Thanks to the Quality Hotel for their hospitality and St John's Preservation Society for organising the evening.
I spoke to an older  lady who described two incidents regarding the police. Both were a terrible reflection on the police and their management of her family and neighbour. I can see through the circumstances and know the officers were more concerned with 'getting a result' and had forgotten the people who needed their help. My campaign is to PUT PEOPLE FIRST. I will make it happen!

Spent the day canvassing around Walmley and addressed a local residents group. They were very concerned about anti social behaviour and had been told by the police they could not take pictures or record the youths concerned.
You can evidence their disruptive activities, snap/record away. Modern technology allows you to record all sorts  of details. If their activity is recorded it is evidence or at least an image of their bad manners. Let's identify these youths and get the matter sorted.

Headed over to Dudley for the last hustings of the campaign. Very receptive audience, with lots of questions for all the candidates and representatives. My thanks to the Quality Hotel staff for their hospitality and St John's Preservation Society for organising the event.

Tomorrow I will be at local railway stations  to reminding people to vote. 

One of the candidates will be your PCC make sure it is someone who will work for you
