Rodney, David and Martin are all members of Whaley Bridge Town Council, as is  Barrie Taylor. They met before a recent meeting of the council when the photo, above, was taken.

James Bush stood as UK Independence Party candidate at the last General Election in NorthEast Derbyshire.

Barrie was leader of the Lib Dem group on the county council for 22 years.  He has also served on the Police Authority for 13 years, and was a member of the Peak District National Park Authority for 15 years.  Now in his mid-70s, he said: “It is time for someone younger, with new ideas and the energy to continue to get things done to take over.”

All Derbyshire results will be declared on Friday 3 May.
