  I'm hearing that Nigel Collor who has held the castle ward for years wjlhen it was a safe tory seat, with boundary changes the seat favours labour and he's jumping ship to Whitfield a safer tory area
  
  I don't agree with cllrs jumping that way and should live or work in the ward
  But sometimes cllrs get desperate
  
  With the greens standing in elms vale could be enough to unseat the Labour cllr to tories
  Splitting the vote
  
  New Castle ward will be interesting
  Also Mill Hill who labour feel they will win
  But greens feel with M eddy's defection they have a chance and have put most resources into that ward
  
  Smaller parties or independents could well unseat by splitting the vote some areas
  
  Interesting
  
  I'm glad I'm. Out of it all
  Last night at DTC reminded me why I won't be standing
  I fully understand the conservatives in the main are not democratic the same with some indies
  
  But having spoken to the mayor previous to the meeting who also disagreed with the mayor having the power to suspend
  Then voted for it last night
  Told me that undet Labour its all much the same as before
  Quite correct a democratic vote was taken to allow the mayor to have this power
  But more worrying is apart from 1 Labour cllr
  Labour supported the mayor having this power
  That's local Labour democracy in action
