By-election in Bryn

Candidates

So Gareth resurfaces. Been away a while.

The info is on Wigan Council’s website:

Voting and Elections:



*I’ve edited out candidates’ addresses

Looks like he has forgotten to include "Standish" in his address.......shouldnt the good folk of Bryn know exactly where he lives?

Was he the one who kept banging on about councillors not living on their own patch?

"Was he the one who kept banging on about councillors not living on their own patch?"

I believe he did SD, on a now defunct Facebook page.

By- Eck!

are the Prescotts still involved with the council?

Says the avid follower of “ Wigan’s No 1 site” Check Galleries redevelopment and an entry on the 27th October kindly placed there by Jo Anne.

All the borough’s councillors are listed on the council website, Basil.

To be fair, Broady, it’s become a sticky thread and I often miss those as well.

Thanks, Joanne

Jo Anne,
Only today and I never read them. I remember from last week. I don’t know why but I saw the name and thought “ car expenses”

Jo anne, they are not "the borough's" councillors.

Sorry Tonker, I worded that badly. Would it have been better to say ‘all the councillors for the wards within Wigan Borough’?

can you claim "car expenses" if you cant drive?

@WiganCouncil (25th Nov):

The people of Bryn get what they deserve with only 15% turnout

So Gareth resurfaces.



..........and sinks without trace (again)

Gareth got a respectable 353 votes though, Stardelta, only 76 less than the candidate that was elected.

He took about 25% of the total vote.

No prizes for third place.

So 25% of 15%? That means 3.75 voters per 100 in the ward voted for him. Don’t think that will have Boris/ Kier missing any sleep.
