"Unfettered by petty politics" says veteran election campaigner

HU12 is commenting on each election leaflet issued during the South West Holderness election campaign:
ANN SUGGIT has represented the local area for 17 years and during that time, she says in her local leaflet issued for the East Riding Council elections, has gained much awareness, knowledge and experience of local government.

As a non-political candidate then Mrs Suggit, a Hedon Town Councillor and former Hedon Mayor, says she is "unfettered by petty political policies that shackle sound judgement on local issues".

Mrs Suggit's leaflet says boldly that "People are more important than party politics" and lists "Social Wellbeing" as her top main issue during the election.

Independent publishes priorities for election campaign

HU12 will be commenting on election leaflets issued during the South West Holderness election campaign:

ADAM LONSDALE has started his campaign for election to the East Riding Council to represent the South West Holderness Ward.

In a leaflet submitted to the Ward Election News page yesterday, Adam Lonsdale listed free parking, practical speed limits and flood defence as his priority issues in the ward election.

The issue of the East Riding Council charging for car parking caused a storm of protest last year and the candidate has picked up on this by saying in the leaflet:

"The council is currently trying to implement car parking charges in the area which could cost you up to £350 a year in extra fees. This is wrong with the economic climate. Lets scrap the idea."

Adam Lonsdale is the youngest candidate standing in the Ward - and in the entire East Riding Election! - so perhaps it is not surprising that he is the first of the candidates to announce that you can follow him on Twitter!

There are 9 other candidates standing in the Ward - 2 Conservative, 3 Labour, 3 Liberal Democrats and 1 other Independent.

Find out more about ALL the candidates and Ask them Questions over on our Ward Election News webpages.
