I thought it was the responsibility and desire of candidates to generate trust, among other things, in the hearts and minds of the voting public. It was with interest and confusion that I received a leaflet on behalf of Caroline Bovey, representing the Pickersleigh Ward for the UK Independence Party.

In it one of the policies for the Malvern area was headlined: "Supporting and encouraging local business" and is aimed at "looking at ways to foster small businesses and enable economic growth".

Perhaps Caroline Bovey would care to explain why her leaflet was printed by a company based in Evesham?

This may be purely for economic reasons but that does not "support" or "foster" Malvern businesses.

I do not believe this generates trust or confidence in the electorate.
