Thank you for the continued welcomes. Paul was indeed set to stand as a UKIP candidate. There was an item that the party was not totally comfortable with and as such was asked not to stand for UKIP until the matter was completely resolved when the application for candidacy would be looked at again.
Paul, as you all know, is standing as an independent for the May 2nd County election and I wish him every success. Fortunately he is not standing against a UKIP candidate in the division that he is standing.
