MK candidates for Cornwall Council

Nomination for the 2013 Cornwall Council elections have been published and, in my St Enoder Division, there is only one other candidate – an independent.

Mebyon Kernow has put forward a total of 26 candidates for the Council and I believe it is a strong list of people who would make outstanding councillors. The full list is as below:

Bodmin St Petrocs  -  John Gibbs

Bodmin St Marys  -  Roger Lashbrook

Bugle  -  Jerry Jefferies

Callington  -  Cllr Andrew Long

Camborne Pendarves  -  John Gillingham

Camborne Roskear  -  John Rowe

Camborne Trelowarren  -  Zoe Fox

Camborne Treslothan  -  Alan Sanders

Camborne Treswithian  -  Mike Champion

Crowan and Wendron  -  Cllr Loveday Jenkin

Four Lanes  -  Chris Lawrence

Fowey and Tywardreath  -  Fiona Carlyon

Illogan  -  Stephen Richardson

Newlyn and Goonhavern  -  Rod Toms

Penryn East and Mylor  -  Dave Garwood

Penwithick and Boscoppa  -  Matt Luke

Penzance East  -  Rob Simmons

Penzance Central  -  Phil Rendle

Perranporth  -  Paul Dunbar

Poundstock  -  Paul Sousek

Roche  -  Brian Higman

St Austell Poltair  -  Derek Collins

St Dominick, Harrowbarrow and Kelly Bray  -  Maria Coakley
St Enoder  -  Cllr Dick Cole

St Mawgan and Colan  -  Rob Poole

Truro Redannick  -  Lance Dyer

One sad omission from the list is Cllr Stuart Cullimore, who has served Camborne South with distinction over the last four years. He has significant health problems and is unable to defend his seat. He will be a great loss to the MK team at County Hall, and I will be having much more to say about his contribution to MK.

Tamsin Williams, who defected to MK from the Lib Dems last year, has also stood down to take a break from frontline politics.
