something surprised me as I was browsing the HBC site for the election results (nothing posted so far) but what did get my attention was the number of candidates standing for election who live outside the election area ....e.g. one candidate for the Milnshaw ward (Accrington) had a Gt. Harwood address and another for Altham ward had an Oswaldtwistle address, would have thought that a candidate for the local council would have been required to live in the ward in which he/she was up for election .... , local democracy and all that stuff
anyone care to comment ...






(since its only a local election I dont suppose it would be necessary to import a Hampstead guacamole slurping socialist )
