Labour choses mayoral candidate
THE Labour Party has chosen Coun Sandra Holland as its candidate for the mayoral elections in Doncaster next year.
Coun Holland has represented Conisbrough and Denaby on Doncaster Council since 2006. She also worked for Don Valley MP Caroline Flint for five years.
Coun Holland was selected from a shortlist of three - all current Doncaster councillors - following a poll of party members.
Martin Winter won two terms in office as Labour's candidate but is unable to contest the June poll since he was expelled from the party earlier this year.
Mr Winter has indicated that he will stand as an independent.
Coun Jonathan Wood will stand for the Conservatives. The other main parties have yet to name a candidate.
