THE Radcliffe East ward by-election will take place today, the same day as the general election.
The seat is up for grabs after the ward’s former councillor Nick Parnell stood down after seven years in the post to take up a role as a full time official with Britain’s biggest trade union, Unite the union.
The four candidates for the by-election are Robert Graham for the Liberal Democrats, Nicole Haydock for the Green Party, Karen Leach for Labour and James Mason for the Conservatives.
