Rutland County Council by-election Uppingham

A By-election will be held in Uppingham on Thursday, January 26 from 7am to 10pm.

The by-election is to elect a new Uppingham representative on to Rutland County Council to replace Colin Forsyth who died in October 2011.

The candidates are Carolyn Cartwright. of Main Street, Bisbrooke (Conservative) It would surprise me if she won.

 Peter Golden. of Peters Way, Bisbrooke, (Lib Dem) He is in with a good chance an experienced Rutland County Council who unfortunately lost his seat to a Lib Dem at the last election, a bit of a Lib Dem cock up there.

Julie Park. of Main Street, Barrowden, (Lab). A novelty for Uppingham voter. I don't know the last time there was a Labour candidate or a Councillor on Rutland County Council.
