POLITICAL battle lines have been drawn for the county council seats throughout Hexham. The Conservatives currently hold Hexham Central with Acomb and Hexham East with Coun. Trevor Cessford and Coun. Cath Homer currently incumbent. They will both re-stand for election in May’s election, and Hexham Town Council member Liam Panesh hopes to usurp current councillor for Hexham West, Independent Derek Kennedy, to make it a clean sweep for the Tories in the town. But Labour are looking to muscle in on the town too, and Penny Grennan, the party’s parliamentary candidate in the 2019 General Election, is looking to take the Hexham Central seat.
