Candidates announced for East Brighton by-election

A by-election candidate has been chosen after a councillor stood down due to ill health .

Carlie Goldsmith will contest the seat of East Brighton on Brighton and Hove City Council for the Green Party.

Ms Goldsmith, who is a criminologist, said: “My experience of growing up in Whitehawk, and bringing up my own family there, is that my neighbours and friends have felt for decades that they’ve been let down by both Labour and Conservative administrations in the city.”

The seat became vacant when Labour councillor Craig Turton stood down.

Community activist Chaun Wilson has been chosen by Labour and Joe Miller will stand for the Conservatives for the election on October 18.

An article about the "candidates announced" for the election manages to fail to mention them all.

2/10....could do better.....

The Liberal Democrats have only just announced their candidate, hence they're not in this article.

What? The Greens are putting up a Brighton in-bred? Has Ania Kitkat approved this?

I would very much like to meet you- just to know what kind of person makes a comment like that.

I was commenting on Ania Kitkat's comments on those born and bred in Brighton. See for yourself.
