End of the road for John Bell?

John Bell was a prominent Conservative activist in North East Wales for many years, and has stood as a Conservative candidate in a number of elections.

John has stood for the Conservatives in Delyn (2005), Clwyd South (2007 and 2010) and second choice in Alyn and Deeside in 2011. His most recent attempt at election was a Wrecsam County Borough Council by election in his home village of Marchwiel yesterday.

Unfortunately for John it was yet another rejection when he was defeated by Independent candidate John Pritchard by 302 votes to 172.

Congratulations to Councillor John Pritchard who I understand is a pretty decent and competent guy.
