IN the East of England on May 4 voters in Felixstowe East and Felixstowe West, Felixstowe Coastal, Kempston in Bedford, Sopwell in St Albans and Abbeygate and district in Bury St Edmunds will have the chance to vote communist.

If you are intending to vote communist in these wards, do not forget to take along your ID. We have elections at town, county and district levels and we are contesting in seven wards.

The election comes at a time of a hike in council tax rises, the ending of transport fare subsidies and an acceleration in the selloff and privatisation of council services.
