Here is some background to the by-election in the Sutton-on-Sea North ward of Mablethorpe and Sutton Town Council in the District of East Lindsey in Lincolnshire. Mablethorpe and Sutton Town Council comprises 18 members, with 3 members elected from each of six wards – Central, East, North, Trusthorpe and Mablethorpe, Sutton-on-Sea North and Sutton-on-Sea South. (The first three wards are in Mablethorpe). The council strengths were: Elections on 3 May 2007: Lib Dem 6, No Description 5, Lab 3, Con 2, East Lindsey Independent Group 1, Vacant 1 (The final vacancy in Trusthorpe and Mablethorpe ward was filled by co-option). Elections on 5 May 2011: Independent Sutton-on-Sea First 6, Independent Mablethorpe First 4, Lab 4, No Description 3, Independent 1 14 councilors were returned unopposed in 2007 with a shortfall of one candidate and 9 councillors were returned unopposed in 2011. The Lib Dems held 1 seat in each ward after the 2007 elections. There were no Lib Dem candidates in 2011; five of the retiring Lib Dem councilors stood as No Description (2), Con (2) and Independent 1; the two standing as Conservatives were defeated. The result in Sutton-on-Sea North ward on 3 May 2007 was: Lib Dem 1, No Description 1, East Lindsey Independent Group 1 (unopposed) The result in Sutton-on-Sea North ward on 5 May 2011 was: Independent Sutton-on-Sea First 3 (unopposed) The three retiring councillors did not stand, although the Lib Dem stood unsuccessfully as a Conservative in another ward. The Louth Leader described Sutton-on-Sea First as “Andrew Ferryman’s Independent Party”. On 22 March 2012, David Mellor (Independent) won the by-election in (Mablethorpe) North ward, following the resignation of Carl Tebbutt (No Description). Carl Tebbutt, who had been returned unopposed to the town council in 2007 as a Lib Dem, resigned after 22 years in local politics, because he had grown frustrated with the lack of progress the town council is making, constant ‘going over old matters’ and a difficulty to get decisions through. The voting was Ind 297, Lab 143, No Description 30, Ind 28 The council strength in September 2012, following the Mablethorpe North by-election and the resignation of Andrew Ferryman is: Independent Sutton-on-Sea First 5, Independent Mablethorpe First 4, Lab 4, No Description 2, Independent 2, Vacant 1 The by-election on 11 October 2012 is caused by the resignation of Andrew Ferryman (Independent Sutton-on-Sea First). Andrew Ferryman has been receiving regular chemotherapy since last October. His treatment is now finished and he is waiting to find out if it has been successful. The reasons for his resignation are explained in detail here www.thisislincolnshire.co.uk/Lincolnshire-town-council-refused-apologies/story-15636044-detail/story.htmlCllr Wild is also an Independent Sutton-on-Sea First councillor, representing Sutton-on-Sea North ward on the Town Council. Andrew Ferryman has also resigned from East Lindsey District Council and as Chairman of Sutton-on-Sea First Residents’ Association. The candidates are Sutton-on-Sea First, Lab and Con. A candidate nominated as No Description (who is also the Conservative candidate in the concurrent District Council election) has withdrawn. The Conservative candidate in this town council election was returned unopposed as a Lib Dem in this ward in 2007, but was defeated as a Conservative candidate in (Mablethorpe) East ward in 2011. |

Don't know whether this is correct, or a mistake, or just two unrelated people with the same name? It is the same person. He also contested the parish ward with no description in May 2011. The Conservative candidate he is opposing was the LD candidate in the district ward in 2007 |

While we wait, interesting comment from someone local: "Voters are spoilt for choice. On the right,a DemCon who feels guilty about cutting everybody's benefits, and a ConDem who boasts about it. On the left a candidate from the Labour party, responsible for closing all the local pubs & covering the streets with cigarette butts, and a candidate from a Militant Tendency Front. On the wings a candidate from a party who blames the EU for roadworks in Southend Lane, and another one who wants to save all the whales in the Ravensbourne. Who said local politics are dull?"www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/9979488.Lewisham_Council_Whitefoot_by_election_starts_for_Catford_and_Downham_voters/ |

Its a good result for the Trots again as it was in Bellingham last year, both areas quite far (geographically and demographically) from their original base
