Today I had a look at which partiescurrently represent the local wards where I have lived.
It turns out that they are represented by 4 Conservative Councillors 4 Labour Councillors 3 Liberal Democrat Councillors. (My current Councillors)
It breaks down as
Hanley Park & Shelton (Stoke) – 1 Labour
Llantwit Fardre (Rhondda CT) – 2 Conservative
South (Luton) – 3 Labour
Bramingham (Luton) – 2 Conservative
Fulwood (Sheffield) – 3 Liberal Democrats
If memory serves me right the representation in those wards away from Sheffield hasn't changed much since I lived in them. The main change seems to be in Sheffield where Fulwood's predecesor ward Hallam was Conservative back when I was growing up.

That would be a mammoth task and the result would not even be vaguely interesting to me let alone any one else.
I don't know the name or party of any of the councillors of my part of Sheffield Central, nor indeed the name or party of any of the councillors in Wester Ross, Strathpeffer and Lochalsh for past 20-years.

And to you (I don't 'do' Easter) because that was in no way a put-down but a statement of fact to note my present general lack of interest in the subject. |

I would have 3 Labour and 3 Liberal Democrat councillors (one of these is a county councillor).
If you add up the votes for each party in each ward I've lived (at their last local elections), you get a close marginal:
Liberal Democrat: 1,184 (36.3%)
Labour: 1,131 (34.7%)
Conservative: 584 (17.9%)
Green: 363 (11.1%)

Most of these haven't changed all that much from the time I lived there - Regency was Labour, Callowland was Labour then Green. There have been ward and division boundary changes as well of course. I never lived in Aldenham West at the time, nor in the Castle division and the boundaries in Newmarket have changed out of all recognition - it isn't even the same council anymore.

Oh I will do this. In Scotland, we have multi-member wards elected by STV , three or four Councillors. I have four in Stonehaven and Lower decide in Aberdeenshire Wendy Agnew, Conservative, lethal mix of pavement politics and a surname beginning with A. Loses interest at the 30mph signs around Stonehaven. Brilliant on potholes and reacting to flooding. less conscientious on the roads budget and flood defence budget before the floods. Attention wanders on site visits if she meets a dog or horse. Lunatic Unionist and pro Brexiteer when she raises her sights above the horizon. Elected well over quota Dennis Robertson, SNP, famous for being blind, well liked for being nice and for having a guide dog. Ex MSP. Mostly frets about equalities Elected marginally over quota Sandy Wallace, Conservative, could have been a contender. Lives out in the sticks, more interested in policy than pot holes and has discovered that the Conservative group do not share his interest. Flounced out of the group over this and Brexit. Has largely lost interest since, but can be relied upon to bore for Scotland about the need as he sees it to build mair hooses. Nobody else shares his view. Agrees with Wendy on flag like stuff. Elected on her surplus because there are not enough people in the sticks. Sarah Dickinson. Lib Dem. hard working, fiercely clever, would be horrified that I think she is the natural successor to Wendy. Obsessed by local issues, and deeply authoritarian. She might sue for libel over that last bit. Elected when everyone else was eliminated later I shall do their predecessors. Now THAT was interesting. |
