Candidate chosen

Surbiton Hill Conservatives last night chose former councillor Nick Kilby to be their standard bearer in the bye-election on 15th September.

Ward chair, Mavis Cracknell, commented, ‘ We were very lucky in that we had a choice between two very able former councillors for the ward. It’s a great pity we couldn’t select both of them as they have been such an excellent team together.’ The selection was made by secret ballot at a very well attended meeting addressed by both former councillors.

Paul Johnston said, ‘I congratulate Nick on his selection and wish him equal success in the election. I hope that the many local residents who have sent in messages of support in the last week will rally round and help him send the Lib Dem administration a message it can’t ignore.’
