   Geoffrey Berg, who organised the petition, said: "I think it is insulting to the 8,500 people who signed the petition in the first place"

No Geoffrey. You stood on my doorstop and my father-in-laws and lied through your teeth saying it was for a poll to stop the con charge. Yes the wording is correct but I signed because I agreed with the anti-charge sentiment and to get you off my doorstep.

At no point was a Mayoral election mentioned. I feel like a mug for signing it
