Hanover and Elm Grove Ward<\/strong><\/p>\n

In May 2011 the Green Party won an historic victory in the Brighton and Hove City Council elections.They became the largest group with 23<\/strong> of the 54<\/strong> councillors, with the Tories retaining 18<\/strong>, and the once all powerful Labour trailing with 13<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hanover and Elm Grove ward is a Green Party stronghold with the Greens polling 2,800<\/strong> votes last time against runners up Labour with 1,600<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although the newcomer Green councillor who was elected in 2011 swore to serve for four years, in fact after only two \u00a0has decided he’s had enough and walked away from his party and community in the midst of a dustmen’s’ strike and Green Party disunity.<\/p>\n

One can only hope the winner will stay to complete the term before the next scheduled elections in May 2015.<\/p>\n

There are six candidates vying for the residents’ vote on election day Thursday 11 July<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Three are unknown no hoper’s, called ‘paper’ or ‘non-target’ candidates by the political parties, leaving the other three who are worth watching;<\/p>\n
