I wonder if people on Norden realise how far back their ward goes.....

[thirdchill]

What happened to the labour vote in castle in 2012? It just seemed to vanish and go to Newcastle 1st candidate.

Either way the Newcastle 1st lot may give the lib dems some competition in this ward.

I think we established in the Newcastle thread that the council originally published the wrong results. Labour and Newcastle 1st candidates had the same surname and they inverted their vote tallies. They corrected it in the following weeks.

Cheers Andrea, that makes more sense. I haven't viewed the Newcastle thread in some time.

This ward has the same boundaries and name as the one that existed in the Macclesfield Borough Council from 1999-2008. In 2008 it was part of the old Macclesfield Town county division that was used to elect the first Cheshire East council.

1999 - LD 621/522, Lab 387, Con 140/97
2002 - LD 533, Lab 257, Con 181
2003 - LD 439, Lab 209, Con 128
2003 byelection - LD 467, Con 212, Lab 151
2006 - LD 455, Lab 211, Con 192
2007 - LD 458, Con 244, Lab 166

Hedon TC - LAB & IND do battle.

I did have a look at Hedon Town Council, but the entire council was elected without political descriptions in 2007 and in 2011. The town council comprises 12 members elected in a single ward. 9 candidates were nominated in 2007 with the remaining 3 councillors in co-opted. In 2011 14 candidates contested the 12 seats.

So the emergence of a Labour candidate presents a new dimension.

Hedon combines with three other parishes to form the South West Holderness ward of the East Riding of Yorkshire, which elected 2 Lib Dems and an Independent in 2007 and 2 Conservatives and an Independent in 2011.

With a name like that, will the Independent candidate outflank her Labour opposition?

[Davıd Boothroyd]

Labour also hold South Heaton.

[Davıd Boothroyd]

Conservatives hold Norden.

That's a surprisingly high knuckle-dragger vote, especially as Norden was never a hotbed of BNP support.

[mrhell]

Lib Dems have held Castle ward. Sorry no figures as I'm not there!
