Poll watch
In Wish, Anne Pissaridou has been a force for good as a councillor, true to her beliefs and not afraid of letting others - even party colleagues - know what they are. More power to her elbow. Robert Nemeth is an intelligent and experienced candidate, but there remains a question mark over whether he can convince voters on the doorstep. Edward Crask must have a chance of making this a Labour gain.
