Day 137 – The Conservative Open Primary

Tonight the Conservative Party plus other more independently minded Bedfordians will select the Conservative candidate for the Mayoral Elections.

The candidates are:

Nicky Attenborough, Leader of the Bedford Borough Conservative Councillors

Tom Wootton, Conservative Borough Councillor

Parvez Akhtar, Chair of the Queens Park Parish Council

Jason Reddy, a Putnoe GP and Deputy Medical Director of the NHS Bedfordshire PCT

SMS wonders what each of them will say about the schools’ debate. Some of us will be there to listen with interest, especially as many traditionally Conservative votes are in wards with very good middle schools.
