Seaton & Colyton candidates announced

Posted on

The candidates for the County Council election are now confirmed:

Paul Arnott (Lib Dem), the only candidate to publish where they live (in Colyton)

John Heath (Independent) who doesn’t say where he lives (but actually it’s in Beer)

Ben Ingham (Conservative) from Lympstone (Conservatives over there have obviously rejected as a candidate – why should we vote for him here?)

Paul Knott (Labour) from Exeter (they too couldn’t find anyone local to stand)

Jim Walsh (Reform UK), Donald Trump’s man, who also lives somewhere else in East Devon (but hasn’t said where).

So – only two local candidates. Paul Arnott has been active in local campaigns, against the Green Wedge and the closure of Seaton Hospital, for the last 15 years. Paul has the experience and reputation across the Seaton and Colyton area to defeat the Conservatives, who won last time. I’m proud to have seconded his nomination and urge everyone to vote for him on May 1st.
