letters@hulldailymail.co.ukNEW FACES FIGHT FOR THE VOTE
A Clutch of Independents, four Greens, a trio of BNP candidates, an anti-war campaigner and the man behind plans for Hull's first cannabis cafe all feature in the election line-up. The BNP's first challenge in Hull has already made the headlines, although where its support might come from is something of an unknown factor.
Equally, Independent candidates could take votes from the established parties while Independent councillors Nadene Burton and Clare Page will be aiming to retain their seats.
Geoff Collier, spokesman for the Hull Stop The War campaign, is contesting the Avenue ward on an anti-war ticket.
And Carl Wagner might win some support among the student population of Newland ward as the city's only Legalise Cannabis Alliance candidate.
He cut his political teeth in the last General Election, standing in the Hull North constituency against Labour's Kevin McNamara.
Elsewhere, the Greens have candidates in University, Longhill, Avenue and Myton.
