Meanwhile in a nearby Ward-

Ardsley & Robin Hood is an adjacent Ward to Morley, much of which came under the auspices of Morley Corporation. There are five hopeful candidates from each of the main parties, i.e. Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem, BNP and UKIP. (No Independents are standing here).

I don't know any of the candidates, other than knowing that Jack Dunn is the incumbent and Joanna Beverley is Chris Beverley's Wife. Based on general Government dis-satisfaction, I predict a possible Conservative or BNP win here. If the deserters are split though, the Labour candidate might just scrape back in, particularly if the UKIP candidate gets a chunk of votes.
