FAQ 2 - Why are there four candidates?

The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) was asked to review the boundaries within North Somerset as there were some areas where councillors were representing significantly fewer or more people than the average.

The consultation period took place in 2013 and the result was that the number of councillors in North Somerset was reduced from 61 to 50 and that the boundaries in Nailsea would be changed. Currently, Nailsea has five councillors who cover two wards. These wards are Nailsea East and Nailsea North and West. These wards have been dissolved and four new wards have been created. These are Nailsea West End, Nailsea Youngwood, Nailsea Golden Valley and Nailsea Yeo. 

James Tonkin is standing in West End.

Sarah Hearne is standing in Youngwood. 
Andy Cole is standing in Golden Valley. 

Julie Day is standing in Yeo.
