This is an opportunity for people to elect even more Alliance Councillors who will continue to build on that work and show politics can deliver for them, their family, and their neighbourhood.
"However, every vote for Alliance on May 18 can can also send a clear message people deserve and demand a working Assembly and Executive. No more drama, just delivery."
