Testimonials

I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks and praise for your Local Elections archive. I have been producing the election night programmes for BBC WM, the local radio station in the West Midlands, for the last two or three years and I've been getting stuck into the number-crunching preparation for this year's elections over the last few weeks. It would have been a considerably harder and more time-consuming job to get all the information together without your website, so I really must say thanks for the tremendous amount of work you have obviously put in.
- Mike Taylor, BBC WM

My contribution has been trivial of course, but its gratifying to be acknowledged and to feel I've been of some help in what is surely one of the best UK election resources on the internet.
- Pete Whitehead
