WHAT a ridiculous time to have a postal vote for the elections. The post is as unpredictable as the weather.

The alternative now from a local polling station to ensure arrival is to travel into Burnley to the Town Hall.

Hardly a ship forward. The old system was more convenient. Your vote was registered and less open to fraud.

It will be interesting to see the result. Will more people vote or think it not worth the bother?
