Hovercraft chairman to run for vacant Burnham
Town Council seat
Burnham-On-Sea
Conservatives have selected Alan Miller as their candidate for
the Town Council by-election in Burnham East on 8th December.
 Alan
is the chairman of BARB, the group that runs Burnham's rescue
hovercraft.
He
was also in the headlines earlier this year after winning a police
bravery award for wrestling a sword-wielding man to the ground.
The man was threatening a group of people in Brean with a samurai
sword before Mr Miller intervened.
The
by-election has been caused by the resignation of Liberal Democrat
Joyce Smith who was elected in 2004.
The
Liberal Democrats are expected to put forward their candidate,
Chris Williams, a former town and district councillor, for the
position.
Polling
day is Thursday 8th December and nominations close on Friday 11th
November.
