A PROSPECTIVE councillor has changed his allegiance and will represent the Yorkshire Party at next year’s local election.
Steve Bullcock stood for the Barnsley Independent Group in last month’s elections.
He came second in the Central ward with almost 30 per cent of the vote but he will now join the Yorkshire Party.
He said: “I am delighted to have joined the Yorkshire Party and look forward to working with Party members across Yorkshire in the weeks and months ahead.
“Having met the Yorkshire Party South Yorkshire Mayoral candidate Simon Biltcliffe, I have been incredibly impressed with the party’s ambitions for Barnsley.
“I believe the Yorkshire Party will be the main opposition to Labour at next year’s Barnsley Council elections - I look forward to fighting as a candidate.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
