Just to confirm that I Cllr David OWENS, will be standing for the BNP in Boston & Skegness.

For the record I was 16 votes short of winning the COUNTY seat contested in October 09, labour were over 300 votes behind.

No because Skegness was historically part of Lindsey rather than Holland. It was therefore in the Horncastle seat before 1983 and in Lindsey East 1983-97

Was Skegness in Boston 1885-1918 and in Holland with Boston 1918-97?

Lancs Observer – yes it is fairly recent I think.
The BNP almost won (don’t think they won) a by-election in Fenside ward early this year or last year (details further up thread).
That is surely the most deprived ward in Boston.

Joe James B – I just spotted the same thread. I hadn’t realised the BNP was strong in this seat. Is this a recent phenomenon?

It looks like the Conservatives will officially make a council gain in Sibsey ward (East Lindsey council) in this seat on Thursday 22nd October because the sitting independent councillor died in August but only the Conservatives have put up a candidate, so he’ll be elected unopposed.

On ConHome,
by-election last night,
I’m not sure whether they’ve percentaged it correctly, but trust it’s about right as it’s a simple comparison to 2007

Boston North West, Lincolnshire (Boston & Skegness) a Con hold. Con vote was 39% +11, Lab 13% no change, LD 10% +2, BNP 38% +15. Ind did not stand losing 11%, Boston By-pass Ind did not stand losing 17%
