What will happen to the city with the election of a new Common Council remains to be seen.
32 candidates are running for the 11 spots on Council. Budgets are tight and the expectation is, they will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Despite that, Tammy Calvin of One Change in the old North End doesn't want to see the revitalisation in that part of town grind to a halt.
She would like to start seeing construction take place on the empty lots where derelict buildings have been torn down.
Calvin says with all the effort that has been made over the last four years, she's hoping the image of the old North End is better than it was.
In the Valley Mayoral races, Bill Bishop is being challenged in Rothesay by Kathryn Hansen and in Quispamsis, Murray Driscoll is facing Beth Fitzpatrick. In Hampton, incumbant Mayor Ken Chorley faces off against Hugh Baird.
