Eleanor Mason got 304 votes in 2019 and seems to have fallen off your listing.

The council annual meeting is on the 30th, a clash they'll have wanted to avoid.

They look like pretty safe Tory wards.

[phil156]

There are 3 elections tomorrow when voters go they will put two X down in Brundall Ward and voters in Old Catton & Sprowston West will put 1.
So there are 3 vacancies. When they are counted there be 3 new councilors elected

There are 2 elections. One of the 2 elections will elect 1 councillor; the other one of the 2 elections will elect 2 councillors. There are 4 vacancies: 1 in one ward, 2 in the other ward, and 1 inside your head.

there’s no railway station at Postwick, which is the main eastern point of entry for the Norwich built-up area and has a park-and-ride site for the city centre

this seems suboptimal. What are you going to ride - is there a bus depot or something?
