I am told that Clayton Councillor Janet Storey is the only local name on the list.
Considering it will take a few weeks for candidates to be given time to meet and canvass the 80 or 90 members is it being left too late?

You can understand the confusion about the problem if, and when, a selection short-list might be imposed here, when it even says this about Hyndburn, on the ConservativeHome website...
'Delaying the selection until this late stage presumably means that the local association will have a shortlist of three imposed upon it under the by-election rules whcih took effect on January 1st.'

The right hand doesn't seem to know what the left hand's doing.
It all seems such a terrible mess.
In the meantime other declared candidates, like Graham Jones and Kevin Logan, are out campaiging.
