I’ll declare an interest in relation to this piece. My father who lives in Upton nominated one of the four candidates. I am also an election observer.


Wirral Council has published the list of candidates for the Upton byelection. The election is a byelection due to the resignation of Matthew Patrick. Whoever is elected will therefore only serve the rest of his term of office (to May 2020).

There are four candidates who are listed below alphabetically by surname. I have included their address too (this should also end up being on the ballot paper).


1. CLOUGH (Lily) 26 Rake Lane, Upton Village, Wirral, CH49 0US (Green Party)

2. DAVIES (Alan) 4 Broadheath Avenue, Bidston, CH43 7NP (Liberal Democrat)

3. ROBINSON (Jean Mary) 65 Gainsborough Road, Upton, CH49 4NE (Labour Party)

4. SELLMAN (Emma Louise) 136B Manor Drive, Upton, CH49 4PJ (Conservative Party)

The nomination period for anyone wishing to stand as a candidate in the elections to become a councillor at Wirral Council has closed. As usual elections in each of the twenty-two wards on Wirral are all being contested. Wards are listed alphabetically, then the candidates alphabetically by surname. One candidate (the Conservative candidate in Liscard) called Ann Ondra Lavin has withdrawn their nomination, therefore is not included in the list of candidates.
