Election Fraud
Dear Stoke on Trent City Council,
I understand from a report in the Sentinel following the Council elections in 2011 that a candidate made a complaint alleging fraud and intimidation in Longton South.
Could I ask about progress with regard to this complaint
Yours faithfully,
Bill Cawley
