Why are we not fielding a candidate in Shevington in the Local Elections?
At last year's local Election in Shevington we cam e 2nd and just missed out with only 200 votes. Ukip did equally as well and it seemed that Labour liked the idea that UKIP split our vote and allowed them in. With this year being a General Election year we have decided to not stand just this year and this will now create a stronger voice for an Anti Labour Vote. Also as a party it is important that we retain the Parish Council seats and gain the additional 2 seats as this will be a bigger importance for the people of Shevington. We will be back next year regardless of the result. So please support our candidates in the parish Elections, where you have 3 votes. Vote for all Shevington Independents . If we get the 5 or more Cllrs we promise to deliver the referendum to give you a choice of reducing you Council Tax. The only Party to promise this.
Please keep visiting this site for more news over the election period. We will also run an article on each of the elections.
