Gareth Fairhurst (Ind) is proposed by Stephen Jones who is the resigning councillor (unless it’s a different person with the same name). Steve Jones was last elected this May, so the seat would normally be up again in 2024, he had first been elected in 2016. James Richardson (Ind) is proposed by Sylvia Wilkinson, who was the independent elected in 2019 (she’s Independent rather than Independent Network in the council groupings, as is the other councillor for the ward).
