The LD and Con candidates for The Worthys live on the same road. Which isn't very big.

There's a road in Teddington, but in Hampton Wick ward, which at one point had sitting Labour, Conservative & Lib Dem councillors, on the same side of the road as well, but it isn't all that small. The Lib Dem & Tory were councillors for that ward.

When I was on Sandwell, I lived in the same road as a Labour councillor. He didn't drive, so I would sometimes give him a lift home after council meetings

Within five minutes walk of my house there are 4 other Lib Dem councillors (two of them are married and at the same address) and two Labour and the local Labour MP. Until last May there was additionally a Conservative councillor as well.

There was somewhere we discussed a few years ago, possibly a by election, where the LibDem and Con candidates had gardens that met at an angle around a corner property. And there might even have been a property dispute between them, IIRC?

I'm not sure why this has turned into a conversation about people living near people. But anyway, the Lib Dem candidate in my ward in 2018 lived in the block opposite me. Gavin Barwell often used to drive Malcolm Wicks home because they lived a street or two apart.

When I was a Parish Councillor (on a politicised parish council) my neighbour and next door neighbour were also Parish Councillors for a different party.

And there might even have been a property dispute between them, IIRC? Yes - I think it was somewhere in Glos - possibly Tewkesbury or somewhere. EDIT - somebody beat me to it. Going further back, I'm sure there was at least one where 2 of the candidates shared the same address...

Of relevance to Winchester, because it was in Colden Common, there were two LibDem Councillors whose back gardens abutted one another, who got into a boundary dispute (they both died last year so I can post this now).

They were both former mayors - you can probably work it out from that! Tory A3 colour leaflet for the whole of Winchester City area with complaints from local residents on one side and fairly information free biographies of the five ward candidates (including the perennial Ian Tait standing in St Lukes where he hasn't the remotest chance of winning) on the other side. Delivered along with an A4 ward leaflet in black and white - in St. Barnabas majoring on the closure of a road which has been imposed by the County Council - Conservative controlled.

For the purposes of approximating total local election votes cross certain constituencies, I have allocated the wards here as follows:
Fareham and Waterlooville: Denmead, Southwick & Wickham
Hamble Valley: Whiteley & Shedfield
Winchester: The other 13 wards, though note there are no elections in 2024 for 2 wards: Colden Common & Twyford, Upper Meon Valley

An impressive number of Green Party posters in St Bartholomew Ward, outnumbering the LibDem ones. The (ex) council estates don't tend to display posters though but normally vote LibDem. Throughout Winchester I have seen three Tory ones, about a dozen Green, and 20 or so LibDem.
