Why didn’t you vote in local elections? Neighbourly Perhaps it’s time we started some sort of civics classes in schools. Not formal, boring lectures, but sessions where kids could interact with local board members and councillors. They could learn what’s planned for their area and be asked for their input ... Done right, we could inspire a generation who actually cared enough to participate. Lyndsay Brock, Devonport
