Stevenage borough councillor Marilyn Yarnold-Forrester has defected from the Conservatives to UKIP



Stevenage borough councillor Marilyn Yarnold-Forrester has defected from the Conservatives to UKIP

She has defected from the Conservatives to UKIP so she is “better able to represent” the people of her ward.

It is the second time a councillor has switched allegiances to UKIP on the borough council after then Stevenage Conservatives leader Marion Mason changed parties in January 2008.

She contested Woodfield ward in 2010 for UKIP but lost her seat to Conservative Graham Clark.

I am sure three Rutland County Councillors will lose their seats if they remain with UKIP for the 2015
election.
