Andrew, is Bullock defending as a Conservative or will he be standing as an independent? Depends whether the Conservatives let him in to their group, I suppose. They haven't done yet.

Derek Bullock 1 - elected as a Conservative but had already been disowned by the party before the poll for racist social media Hulton: 2Lab/1C - C (Derek Bullock) defending So he did best of the three Tory candidates; when was he disowned? No doubt the first letter of his surname was a factor.

The Green Party have won their first ever Bolton council seat, gaining Halliwell from Labour. I think that means we have another hung council.

The Independent who won Rumworth(Ayyub Patel Chota) is a former Conservative Cllr who won a by-election there in 2022 and then lost in the 2023 all-out elections. This time he said “This is a win for Palestine. We the people of Rumworth have shown that they believe in a ceasefire."

So what is his position on potholes and planning consent, you know, the things that Bolton council has actual power over?

Does anyone know whether the 1 vote Conservative gain in Astley Bridge involved lot drawing or was it a 1 vote win without need for further action?

Does anyone know whether the 1 vote Conservative gain in Astley Bridge involved lot drawing or was it a 1 vote win without need for further action? By a single vote , well that's how this news article reads.
