This year we held our shortlisting meeting for our candidate for the 2020 local elections on the 5th September, as a branch we were happy to select the sitting councillor Bernard Priest as our candidate.

Bernard has represented Ardwick for many years, he’s served as deputy council leader and currently sits on the Resources and Governance Scrutiny Committee. 

In the ward he is an easily recognisable figure due to the work he has put in representing the ward over his years as councillor.
