Macclesfield Conservatives are currently in the process of selecting a new candidate to take the place of Sir Nicholas Winterton, who has been MP for the seat since 1971.
The final six names - all of whom I gather are going to be put through to the open primary on October 17th - are:
- Victoria Atkins
- Fiona Bruce
- Nicholas Gleave
- Sheila Lawlor
- David Rutley
- David Senior
The eventual winner will be bequeathed a notional majority of 9,464 after very minor boundary changes.
