I will try at some point, but I don't really know Lower Earley/Earley all that well, the part of the Reading end of Woky borough I have family in is Woodley, which is in Reading East mostly, the other part in Maidenhead. |

I'm sure there was a Runnymede & Weybridge thread, anyone know what has happened to it?! When Barnaby Marder deleted all his entries, I missed those where there had been no subsequent comments, and therefore the whole thread had disappeared. There were 4 in London, and this appears to be another. |

I see that Robert has now done Mole Valley & Spelthorne. I probably have enough knowledge of Reading West to volunteer to do that

No. I've never been to Swansea East & wouldn't be able to name more than one ward (Llansamlet) without looking it up. When I did look it up just now I saw that Morriston was in the constituency - I always thought it was in Swansea West, which I have been to - shows how badly qualified I would be to write it

there are very few Welsh constituencies I know well enough to write about. Most of the ones I do know are Conservative as it happens.

I think that Swansea West was done by our ex-resident (genuine) fash, IIRC it is where they reside.

Inspired by the recent Broxtowe profile, I've written up a draft profile for Bracknell. I'll need to edit it down considerably though (currently it's about 1,800 words and I'd rather it was half that).

if Wokingham is still outstanding I don't mind doing it, maybe will have to wait until after the local elections
