Little tidbit for the Lyme Regis contest on Thursday, the independent is apparently a local celebrity chef so may be well known in the area. There are two further imminent vacancies in Lyme Regis (by elections are usually called) and we are expecting a by election in Weymouth Town Council - Wyke Regis Ward, but date not known yet.

[East Anglian Lefty]

Slightly surprised that the Ely West by-election is taking place under party colours. I think everybody on the city council is or was a member of a political party, but all but one of them stood as independents - we stood Labour candidates (myself included) in 2019, but we mostly used the party designation to annoy the LDs and the Tories. In fairness the Tories on the city council genuinely don't behave as a group - they often agree, because they're coming from similar viewpoints, but they don't co-ordinate beforehand. This is rather less true of the LDs.

[Harry Hayfield]

A community councillor in Pembroke Dock has stood down from the council after telling people, so many times that he is fed up to the back teeth, "I AM NOT BANKSY!"

I don't know his restaurant personally, but according to a local Green member he is a chef so probably.

I was interested to see the comments about the Ely West by-election (9th June). In fact no Green candidates stood in 2019 for the parish wards and only Labour put up candidates with party labels. Perhaps Harry Hayfield is confusing the Parish with District contests? Now both the Lib Dems and the Greens have decided to officially label their candidates and it will have to be seen how this plays out with the electorate. The Lib Dems are still smarting from a heavy defeat in a recent by-election in Ely East where candidates had no official affiliations but were obviously members of political parties and may believe that by declaring their ‘colours’ they will alert the voters to just who is who.

But on the whole it’s a pity to see party politics entering a Council chamber where collegiality and co-operation have up to now been the order of the day. At the moment all Ely’s city councillors come from the a broadly ‘liberal’ position working hard together, for example, on inclusivity and environmental issues. Other areas of the Council’s work - recreation, the cemetery an so on - would be hard to turn into contentious party issues. Long May this continue.

[political2]

I should have read Harry Hayfield’s post on Ely West more carefully - he didn’t say that he was a Green candidate in 2019. Apologies.

The current Lib Dem candidate has campaigned for both the Conservatives and for Labour in the past or so I’m told. An interesting journey to the centre! So far he appears to be leafleting and using social media quite extensively. The local paper, the Ely Standard, has run articles on both candidates.

Ely West has a large electorate - 7000+ but just how many people will turn out in the absence of candidates from other parties remains to be seen. A 15% turnout would not surprise me.
