You will have read my earler post about the sad death of Cllr Graham Phelps on the 17th of November. One of the outcomes is to be a By-Election for the ward that Graham represented. The Councils CEO has announced that there will be an election called for for a date later in January 2010.
I assume the main driver for this has been the change in balance of power at Wakefield from 32 Labour Councillors / 31 Opposition to 31 / 31 or a position of no overall control.
The Leader of the council has called for parties to fight fair.
Clearly the political classes and the media will be paying more attention to Airedale & Ferry Fryston than is normally the case, I hope that the electorate will benefit.
