Local Elections

[wheels]

You're right - I haven't even seen anything about Craig Wright's replacement Liberal candidate, let alone anything about who else is standing.

Which councillors are up for re-election next month? It's usually two at a time isn't it?

No it's one vacancy per ward, has been since 1974 those elected serve 4 yrs with a fallow election year every 4th year, thus last year was fallow, 2017, 2021 etc.

I have had at least 3 pieces of literature promoting Geoff Abell in recent weeks.

The replacement candidate in Craig's area is Geoff Abell.  He canvassed our neighbourhood on Saturday last, so I expect he will be around soon.  I don't know about any other candidates.

I was driving through Bramhall yesterday and observed  Conservative election posters out for the forthcoming elections in May. Candidates name was Lisa Walker.

I haven't seen any posters  in Marple yet but I'm sure that they are on their way. I always vote, both general and local. At this stage I'm usually decided on local but this year I'm undecided. Personally I'm not that interested in party politics for local elections and I usually vote for the candidate as opposed for the party. 

However, I'm not absolutely sure who the candidates are this year. Whosoever they are they don't seem very high - profile.  I did get some stuff through the door but I can't find it now.

Anybody got any info/views.
