Ward System Arrives – But ‘Clever Tricks’ Spoil The Day
This was the first KUDC election where wards were introduced and it caused a bit of a stir.
The local press reported that the ‘clever tricks’ adopted by the ‘Independent nine’, where they nominated the same candidates in more than one ward, which, ultimately, prevented contests in Abbey and Borrowell. On 13th March, two weeks before the election they ‘withdrew’ six candidates but in reality only one was actually withdrawn, that of Mr Hughes in Borrowell. The other five withdrawals are those of the candidates who were nominated in other wards. This ridiculous situation did not go down with many people, and only caused confusion amongst the electorate.
18-year veteran of the council, John Clarke, did not seek re-election. He had been on the council from 1913 to 1919 and then from 1922 until this year. He’s now aged 73, but business pressures have caused his retirement. He was the chairman in 1932-33.
Labour stood in only one ward, Park Hill, where James Leaver managed to get elected. He is the manager of the Co-operative Store in Park Road.
Mrs Elizabeth (Lily) Randall who was elected three years ago, lost her seat in Castle ward. Leaving no women on the council.
The council is now a combination of old and new faces. The closest contest was in Castle Ward where Major Watling topped the poll. Voting was poor in Park Hill, where the turnout was less than 50%.
Returning officer was Mr J. C. Whittaker.
