I assume Dave means Ashcroft money for the Tories rather than Ashdown (even in the spirit of coalition I can’t see Paddy financing the Conservatives in Sunderland!)

Information from both parties canvass returns.

Labour claim large majorities in both seats . The Tories admit defeat in Washington East but hope to hang on in Washington South, however they lost that seat last year by over 400 votes.

With the local elections due the Tories need to hang onto the two wards they have councillors in, however local polling seems to indicate that both will be lost.

It looks like the Tories have given up in the council seats after last year, I understand that sitting councillors are not standing again and that they are having difficulties find ccandidates with any local activity.

Now that Ashdowns money has gone they dont appear to have the esourses to put out the regular newsletters which udes to appear on a egular basis.

They even appear to have given up on attending council meetings!!!

The electors have been abandoned

Sorry I was on the wrong thread – meant to be on Tiverton and Honiton answering a point on Torbay.

I might aswell put it on completely the correct seat now.
