THE Bucks Free Press is still asking council contenders at the May 2 elections for their written statements.

We are giving candidates the chance to make a pitch in 250 words on our website as to why readers should vote for them.

So why not take the opportunity to speak to the electorate?

Some statements have already come through but we will be taking these still until Tuesday morning.

Please email bfpnews@london.newsquest.co.uk with a subject header for your email of 'council elections written statement'.

The BFP was experiencing technical problems with emails earlier this week but the problem has now been resolved.

If you have already sent your statement but are unsure if it has been received please re-send to the same address.

Video statements for those candidates who have recorded them will be online later today. Today is the deadline for videos.
