Conservatives are being parachuted in from far and wide to stand in the Kirkburton Parish Elections |
In the Parish Council
Elections the Conservatives have decided to' parachute in' over half their candidates
from outside the Kirkburton Parish Council area. Their Candidates come from far
and wide. Their Candidate for Flockton Robert McGuin lives in Marsh! Others live
in Sheepridge, Lowerhouses, Thornhill, Marsh, Birkby and Fixby.
Parish Councils are
very much about working in communities and getting involved in local projects.
It is difficult to see what interests many of these candidates can have in
getting involved in projects that are miles from where they live.The fact that the Conservatives have fielded so many of their Party members from all over Huddersfield shows the lack of people willing to stand for them in our local villages. It also shows that their interest in standing is overtly political and not out of any genuine concern for our villages.
The Green Party have
only one Candidate who lives outside the Boundary and that is me! I
live a few hundred yards outside the Parish in Brockholes and represent
Farnley Tyas and Thurstonland. The next door villages to where I live.
