There is a council by election in Yewdale ward, Carlisle on 5th September. I went there this evening to support Christine Finlayson, the Conservative candidate, who was out campaigning with a strong team.
In this part of the world you can never rely on the co-operation of the elements - if you only campaigned in good weather then at least half the electorate would never see hide nor hair of you. There was a bit of light drizzzle this evening but nobody paid it too much attention - one colleague said to me that one thing about fighting an election in August, if you get rained on at least the rain is warm.
I was quite encouraged by the friendly reception on the doorstep. Yewdale is a marginal ward so the result will be interesting.
