Ferndown Town Council will have a by election in the Central North Ward on December 1st, the first contested one for some years. Its between Duanne Farr for UKIP and Sarah Byrne Independent and will be combined with a county council by election. This follows the resignation due to ill health and subsequent death of David Andrews independent/co-opted.

I wonder if Brian Silvester (who's 'doing a Chris Williamson') realises this isn't how town council elections work.

I see there has been something of a campaign to raise the number of followers that @tasha4ctc has. When I last checked this had risen from 17 to over 1200 in a few hours. Now whether this will make any difference to the actual vote is a rather different matter.

She is up from 17 to 14,166 He is up from 9,737 to 9,786 And reports of his conviction as a "rogue landlord" has been posted for many thousands to see. As my wife often tells me, sometimes is best just to keep quiet. |

Crediton Town Council,
Bob Wright (L Dem) 525
Tim Matthews (Ind) 186
As I understand the background, it arises from the co-option of a new councillor in Lawrence ward on 20 September - at which there was an attempt to co-opt Tim Matthews. When he lost, Bill Dixon resigned his seat in order to a find another vacancy. There were some opponents of Matthews who then demanded a byelection to stop the councillors co-opting him.

There is something incredibly satisfying about that. There is! There is!   (On a slightly more serious note there is something slightly pathetic about the trajectory of a politician who goes from being Leader of a Borough Council, then Deputy Leader of a Unitary Authority to scrabbling around trying to get onto any available parish council within a 3 mile radius of his home.) |

Strange that in the Madeley PC (Newcastle) by-election this week, there are 3 candidates for one vacancy, yet one of the candidates has nominated one of his opponents.
