Brian Corkill, Whiston(Press release) Former Mayor of Whiston Brian Corkill is standing as an independent in the forthcoming local elections for the Tushingham Whiston ward.

Mr Corkill has come to the end of his four-year term in office as a Delph ward councillor. He was moved there from Tushingham by the local Labour Party, amid fears at the last election that the seat would be taken by the Liberal Democrats, whose influence was spreading from nearby Prescot. Brian and two other experienced Whiston Councillors were uprooted and sent to the unsafe Delph seats to release their wards for more “cosseted” members of the branch
