With local council elections taking place next week, the Andover Advertiser is providing readers with high quality, exclusive content to help you stay informed about the forthcoming vote.

For the past few weeks, we have delivered in-depth analyses of the candidates and their policies, as well as exclusive interviews and stories.

Our reporters have been out in the community, talking to voters and getting a sense of what they want from the candidates, and what they hope will be addressed in the coming election.

The Andover Advertiser has been issuing regular updates on the most important issues concerning voters, so you can stay informed and make the best decision when it comes to casting your vote.

We have also been hosting public forums and debates, where readers can ask questions of the candidates and get their opinions on the issues.
