LOCAL ELECTIONS
Clockwise from top left: Steve Allsopp (Labour), Martin Costello (Independent), Curtis Flux (Conservative) and Malcolm Salmon (Lib Dem) are standing for election in Liden, Eldene and Park South on May 6
THE ward covering Liden, Eldene and Park South marks a transition for Swindon.
At its north-eastern end, it is an urban suburb. Park South was one of the areas of significant public housebuilding during the post-war years as Swindon grew and holds a fair proportion of the borough council’s housing stock.
How that housing is managed – and how much rent tenants are charged – will always be an issue here.
