There is also on this day the South Staffs DC Great Wyrely Town by election though it is not part of the competition .

[Merseymike]

No Labour candidate in Balderton South? Is this cock-up - it's a Tory ward but we weren't that far behind?

[Devil Wincarnate]

 Fancy that.  Chorley Labour have picked Hi-de-Hi character Yvonne Hargreaves as a candidate!
