Barnfield: Jodie Travis debunks election soundbites

Over the past few weeks you will have seen what I can do for Barnfield but leaflets from other candidates are making unrealistic promises. False promises have damaged trust in politicians over the years and I feel that the public should be given the facts rather than be tricked by soundbites:


SOUNDBITE - Tony Dobson will purchase a Road Sweeper
Tony Dobson has pledged to buy a road sweeper out of his own pocket but these are specialist vehicles which cost over £120,000 and require special certificates and meticulous records of the driving hours. Is this a real promise?


SOUNDBITE - Tony Dobson will provide FREE internet and training
All 'free' internet deals require signing up to a payment contract for other services. Free computer training is already available throughout Accrington. Is this a real free offer?


SOUNDBITE - Tony Dobson will provide an Early Warning System

Lancashire Constabulary have already introduced the In The Know system which residents can sign up to for free. Is this a real new service?


I will only make realistic promises of help to the people of Barnfield ward. Please vote for me, Jodie Travis, on May 5th
