Are Residents funding this Political Party Propaganda?

2 Jul 2007

According to Epsom & Ewell Borough Council's latest issue of their 'Insight' magazine, "residents' association councillors work together in the council but are not a political party". This is not true.

The Electoral Commission lists 198 political parties in England, six of which are based in Epsom and Ewell. Of these, one has no less than six different registered names. Every single one of the elected Residents' Association councillors (and their 13 failed candidates) indicated one or other of these parties on their ballot papers in the recent elections. So whilst they are not a single political party, they belong to political parties who work together as one under SCoRA, the Standing Committee of Residents Associations.

Liberal Democrat councillors object to council tax payers' money being spent on misleading political party propaganda.
