LABOUR has named its candidates for Heworth and Westfield ahead of next May’s City of York Council elections.
In Heworth, serving ward councillors Barbara Boyce and Tina Funnell will be joined by Dafydd Williams, who is seeking to move from his current Westfield ward to Heworth, where he lives.
He replaces Ruth Potter, who announced in July that she would stand down.
In Westfield, Labour’s candidates will be current councillor Stephen Burton, Louise Corson, who stood unsuccessfully in last month’s by-election, and Reece Goscinski.
Councillor Williams said: “It’s been a privilege to represent the people of Westfield since May 2011 and I am very grateful for the many kindnesses I have been shown by Westfield residents. However, I am thrilled to be given the chance to stand in the community that I have lived in for several years.”
