Why is voter turnout so low in parts of Lincoln?
Voters across Lincoln are set to head to elect their next district councillors next month, but many will choose to stay at home.
However, David, of Derby Street, believes residents need to do their civic duty when the polls open again on Thursday, May 4. “If you look at all the factories within Park Ward, they fed the factories with labourers. Those factories don’t exist any longer and so those houses are basically just dormitory places where people live.
“Over the years, we’ve invested a lot in Park Ward, particularly Sincil Bank, and engaged with the residents and are seeing some good things happening. Labour currently represent the ward, with Councillor Adrianna McNulty taking last year’s seat. However, Liberal Democrat Ross Pepper and Conservative Pete Edwards are hoping to change that this year.GlebeThe Tories, Liberal Democrats and the Greens all contested to take the seat from Labour, but ultimately failed to take Councillor Patrick Vaughan’s seat.
