Here's the list of Blackpool Council candidates standing in the May local elections

But one election hopeful who was suspended by his party is no longer in the running.

The list of nominations for Norbreck ward, which Tory hopeful Adam Hawkins had been selected to stand in, has seen Anne-Marie Clarke's name put forward instead to contest the seat for the Conservatives.

Mr Hawkins was suspended by the Blackpool North and Cleveleys Conservative Association last month pending an investigation into complaints of online harrassment of Chris Webb, Labour's prospective parliamentary candidate for the constituency.

Nominations for Norbreck also include former longstanding Conservatives Peter and Maxine Callow who were dropped by the party and are now running based on their past records.

Debbie and Gary Coleman, who left Labour after a row over the dismissal of Ian Coleman from the Mayoralty, are standing as independents in Marton and Brunswick wards.

Simon Blackburn, who led Labour during its administration, is also facing opponents in Brunswick including Blackpool FC fan Andy Higgins.

Mr Higgins, who is a committee member for the Blackpool Supporters Trust, previously stood as a parliamentary candidate in Blackpool South at the 2015 General Election.
