A new chapter for the Act Party, as it takes on local body elections for the first time.  

Leader David Seymour is calling for expressions of interest of anyone keen to stand -- saying it's time for a clean out of local councillors. 

Act isn't considering challenging the mayoralty in any parts of the country.  

Political Editor, Jason Walls says told Andrew Dickens the party is unhappy with widespread rate increases and wants a change. 

He says Act wants to take its war on wasteful spending from the Beehive, around the country.
