Thursday, 18 March 2010 00:00

Former Councillor Keith Teare has announced his intent to stand for the vacant Derby Ward seat should Councillor Colin Cain successfully get into the House of Keys.

Mr Teare has been a councillor in the past but was forced to end his 6 year run due to unforseen circumstances.
