Today, Monday 4th April 2011, the nominations closed for the Mid Suffolk District Council elections being held on Thursday 5th May. I'm standing as one of the two Conservative Party candidates in the Claydon & Barham Ward. There are two seats in this ward and when nominations closed at midday there were eight validated candidates standing. As well as myself and Linda Britt for the Conservatives, there are two LibDem candidates (who are our present councillors), two Labour Party candidates as well a Green Party candidate and an independent Suffolk Together candidate.
With eight candidates contesting two seats it should be an exciting election campaign. There will be a variety of viewpoints on offer and democracy should be the winner. Over the next four and a half weeks I hope you'll return to my blog for regular updates on the campaign.
