Those candidates represent six different parties - Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats and Greens and two smaller parties, The Libertarian Party and the For Britain Movement.

There will also be 21 independent candidates. 

The list for Wroughton & Wichelstowe is longer than all the others as there are two seats available at this election.

One is the seat held and contested by sitting councillor Brian Ford at the end of its normal four-year cycle. The other has been vacated by Liberal Democrat Andy Spry a year early. The candidate winning the second highest number of votes will be elected for one year before the end of that seat’s normal term when it will again be contested in 2022.

There is also a by-election in Chiseldon & Lawn ward caused by the death of Conservative deputy mayor Brian Mattock last month. 

The successful candidate will sit for two years until the four-year term, which began with Coun Mattock’s election in 2018, runs out.

DOGS AT POLLING STATIONS

Pooches of Swindon are set to take their owners to the polls for the local elections.

Dog owners up and down the country will be taking to social media to post pictures of their dogs by polling station signs, with the hashtag #dogsatpollingstations

The tradition never fails to raise a smile on a day that is otherwise quite serious.

According to some, the trend can be traced back to the morning of the 2015 general election, when the first 'dogs at polling stations' picture was posted on Twitter.
