I’ve lived in Wolverhampton for seven years and I actually quite like the place. There are things about the city that frustrate me, though.

Take the city council, for example. There’s a sense in Wolverhampton that our council is particularly lazy. Whether that’s true, or not, is hard to say. Certainly, when I’ve tried to email individual councillors, getting a response is difficult. My feeling is that the council is missing opportunities to help make Wolverhampton a better place to live.

So, I’ve decided to stand in May’s local elections, in my own ward of Graiseley.

Of particular interest to readers of this blog, I want to promote the use of open source and issues of information freedom, whether not I’m elected. I’d appreciate any input that people have on that front.

I won’t take up too much space on this blog. Instead, I’ve set up a blog to talk about my campaign and the ways in which I want to help make Wolverhampton better - www.matthewrevell.com
