WOMEN ONLY ELECTION
A vacancy had arisen due to resignation of Cllr Prentice due to health reasons. He was returned at last year’s triennial election, polling 1002 votes, the most of all the candidates.
Last year’s election produced no women councillors, so it looks like good sense prevailed between the parties to only nominate female candidates, hence ensuring at least one lady would be on the council.
Mrs Adcock will attend her first public meeting next Tuesday (15th May), along with her fellow eleven male council members. (Good luck to her)
Mrs Langdale’s vote increased by 12% from last years election but it was not enough to seriously challenge Mrs Adcock.
