Why vote?

Oswestry Borough Council spends nearly six million pounds per year to make sure Oswestry is a modern and exciting place to live.

If you live in Oswestry and you vote, you are using your power to influence life in Oswestry.

You may think voting changes nothing, but in fact it is one of the most important ways of making a difference. Remember, a government only has power because people vote for it.

If you don't vote, you're giving up control to those who do.

Some elections are won by little more than a dozen votes - that means you and your friends voting could change the result of an entire election!
