District Council By-Election

On February 22nd there is a District Council By-Election in Horning. It's arisen due to the death of our Councillor Colin Haddow just before Christmas. Colin was the must respected leader of our 16 strong group on North Norfolk District Council. Our Candidate Chris How has lived in the ward for twenty years. At least he shouldn't have to put up with the kind of LibDem dirty tricks found HERE. At least, I hope not.

Well the Lib Dems only got 14% of the vote in the seat last time- it should be a doddle!

I follow the political scene quite closely but I must admit I know nothing of the Horning Division. What is the political history of this ward? And more importantly where does it cover? I can't imagine that it is just Horning ... is it?

The ward is actually called St Benet's, but Horning is the largest village. The other main villages are Barton Turf and Neatishead.

What Lib Dem dirty tricks are you referring to? Who is the Lib Dem candidate and do they have a repation for dirty tricks?

Click on the link and you'll see what I mean. No, the LibDem candidate in this by-election I am sure wouldn't stoop to this kind of thing. Although the Libs are using a very misleading graph oin their literature, which relates to the whole constituency rather than just St Benet's. They are trying to make out there "is only 1% in it"!
