Hardon has fought Moss Bay before - he was the Tory candidate in the 2005 county elections when there was a Moss Bay division with the same boundaries. He was also Allerdale councillor for Stainburn ward 2007-2011 as a Conservative, losing his seat by two votes.

In Dalton, Fitzgerald (Ind) is a former Allerdale councillor (Boltons, 24.6.2013-2015) and anti-windfarm campaigner, while Hayman (Lab) is the husband of the Labour MP for Workington.

The Kettering ward, incidentally, is St Peter's not St Mary's.

Thanks for noticing my mistakes, Andrew, I wrote that in a hurry before going on holiday.
