Resident Four: “I kind of know the basic things about transport, care in the community, kind of facilities like that.”
Resident Three: “I have lived here for a long, long while and I don’t know all the services they do so when you take into account all the new people that have come into Ely to live and the surrounding area they are not going to know are they? And so if they don’t put it in on a website or put it in the newspaper and advertise what they do, we are not going to know.”
Resident Six: “If people know what the councils can do then they might be interested in asking the question if I vote for you what will you do and then voting that way.”
Resident Four: “Because we are all effected, locally effected, considerably more than on a national level, I think.”
