What Are Your Top Three Issues on Election Day?

We've got less than a month to go before the 2013 Chelmsford Town Election, and today we want to ask you what your top three issues will be when trying to choose your two votes, or for that matter, what are the top three issues facing the town overall.

Here's what the candidates said last night at the Chelmsford Busines Association debate. You can see the full debate on Chelmsford Telemedia, we'll have more on the issues brought up during the debate later on as well.
