Well it appears to be Local Election time again. That! has come around so quickly. I really didn't think it was time for Tanworth In Arden ward to go to the poles again. I don't think I have miss read the SDC Website in fact when checking again. I realise that it is Peter Oakley from Earlswood (Conservative) whose seat is coming to the end of its term. Well it will be interesting to see who stands and for what party. Anyway details of the Local Elections can be found at Stratford District Website There are 18 seats in the Stratford District to be contested and listed as follows.
