Well, Leeds normally has elections in three out of four years on a sort of rolling roster. (A third of Councillors are elected every four years).

How many of the respect zones are the same?

Not long, I don’t think, James. Just a question of searching for the ‘Respect Zone’ councils on the local election list – which the Firefox browser’s search facility makes easier.

Marrying the zones to marginal seats is proving trickier. There may or may not be a follow up post later in the week.

Middlesbrough Council a “Respect Zone”? I’ve had far more trouble in the “disrespect” area (ooer) living in London than I ever have up north. This is rubbish.

Total cost of today’s announcement is Ã‚Â£240m. pounds – would be better spent on additional beat bobbies rather than parenting classes for the chavs!
