Manifestos: 'Too many words and not enough substance'

TOO much text and not enough substance is the verdict of some people receiving election manifestos.

More than 100,000 leaflets have been printed and are being delivered.

Housewife Abbi Rouse has already received eight manifestos from Castel candidates, with five in one envelope and three in another.

She backed the idea of candidates sharing postage, but said the content was hard to digest.

'There are quite a few with too much text,' she said.
