Everyone should have received their postal votes by now. There was some concerns earlier in the week, but they seem to have arrived now. Shropshire Council have been sending them out in batches. Contact Shropshire Council on 0345 6789015 or email elections@shropshire.gov.uk if you still haven’t received your postal vote yet.

Hopefully everyone in the district of Shifnal South and Cosford should have received a leaflet from me by now. If you are not sure you should get one, you can check the boundaries at https://mapit.mysociety.org/area/64039.html You can email me at ebirdshropshire@gmail.com and I will drop a leaflet round to your address.

I’ve been out leafleting throughout the district of Shifnal South and Cosford. Mark Pritchard MP was kind enough to help in Shifnal. Hopefully you should have all received a copy of my campaign literature and our manifesto which includes replacement of boxes with wheelie recycling bins.

We will be offering recycling wheelie bins to all households in place of existing boxes. I have received a lot of feedback from residents that the wind can blow papers out of boxes and they welcome having new recycling wheelie bins to replace them.
