Election / No surprises in North Isles by-election announcement
THE NOTICE of poll for the upcoming North Isles council by-election has been published – with no surprise candidates on the list.

They were all publicly known prior to this afternoon’s (Friday) notice of poll. They are: Gary Cleaver, Stewart Douglas, Sonia Robertson, Robert Thomson, Marie Williamson.
All five candidates are independents.
