No LD or Green candidate in Wealden, in a district where they have just taken joint control?
Are they maybe backing the independent?

or indeed Labour.
I have a friend living in this ward, wonder if she will vote Labour.

"Looe West, Pelynt, Lansallos & Lanteglos" Perfect. No notes. It's curious that such a long warddivision name hasn't found room for Polperro. |

In fact the parish in question is now called Polperro, but it used to be called Lansallos, and I assume the use of the latter in the division name is a relict of that. I don’t know when the parish name was changed. |

Not Andrew's fault but I find it funny that the map he used omits that 2nd largest village in the Desborough ward Wilbarston that he mentions. It's really weird - it's not just the placename missing but the grey color for a settlement - making the streets within it visible.

And wisely avoids getting diverted into the debate about reinstating the Uckfield to Lewes part of the Wealden Line which often overwhelms many a post and thread. |

Is there a connection between the name of the ward - Desborough - and the relative of Cromwell, General Disbrowe / Desborough? He was a Major-General during the Cromwellian regime, and his original land would have been broadly in that part of the world

It's really weird - it's not just the placename missing but the grey color for a settlement - making the streets within it visible. I was decidedly unimpressed with Wilbarston when I visited while producing my profile. The small towns and large villages in Northamptonshire are really quite unattractive. I exempt Oundle, which is a pleasant town. Desborough itself is quite depressing too. I'd prefer Uckfield any day. |

and the larger towns aren't up to that much either. There are some pleasant small villages in the south of the county though, indeed one or two at least could be described as very pretty indeed.

I don’t know when the parish name was changed. I associate relict with the religious connection to saints or the legal term for usually aged remainder-persons with due claims of income and assets of deceased persons, usually men |
