Spurned candidate goes it alone
AN independent candidate is standing in Hampstead Town ward
after falling out with Camden’s Conservatives.
Brian Kettell, who lives in South End Road, Hampstead, had hoped
to replace Councillor Brian Cattell, who is standing down, as
the ward’s third Tory election candidate on May 4.
Tory boss Councillor Piers Wauchope said Mr Kettell had not
impressed when interviewed and the party had instead chosen
Kirsty Roberts, a familiar face in the Save Our Green campaign.
He added: “It is part of our policy of looking at candidates
who have been active in the community. Kirsty has worked very
hard in the community even if not always wearing a blue rosette.
She will be an excellent councillor.
“I am surprised Brian Kettell is standing as an independent.”
Mr Kettell has criticised the Conservatives’ selection
process. |
