Perhaps Belmont ward will be the place to really test UKIP strength?
Currently there are three Conservatives in the ward with the third Conservative councillor polling 2,355 votes. The fourth place a Liberal Democrat polled just 123 votes less.
UKIP polled 621 votes - could any upsurge in that vote damage this Conservative stronghold and loss valuable seats for the Conservatives?
Also just heard that the long serving councillor Peter Geiringer isn't standing this time - which is strange bearing in mind the challenge facing the Conservatives.
