This section of the forum, first set-up for the 2016 elections, has now been re-badged in preparation for the Local Councillor Elections in May 2021.
Councillors reaching the end of their terms:
As most will know, councillor elections in 2020 were postponed and the councillors coming to the end of their normal 4 year term in May 2020 have served for another 12 months.
Tom Dowse, incumbent Conservative Councillor for Marple South and High Lane, is not standing for re-election.
Incumbent Marple North Councillor Malcolm Allan is standing for re-election in May.
So who are the candidates for the two places up for grabs in 2021?
Marple North Candidates:
Incumbent Councillor @Malcolm Allan (LibDem); former Councillor Annette Finnie (Conservative) @Carolyn Leather (Green Party) and Peter Towey (Labour).
Marple South and High Lane Candidates:
Former Councillor Shan Alexander (LibDem); @DarranPalmer (Conservative); Andrew Threadfall (Green Party) and Paul Wright (Labour).
