People living in the only area of Nottingham to have voted Conservative at the last city council election say there is some "confusion" ahead of this year's contest. Clifton West is a Nottingham City Council ward, created at the last election in 2019, which primarily comprises Clifton Village.
It has been represented for the last four years by two Conservative councillors - Andrew Rule and Roger Steel. But after Mr Steel's deselection from the party, which caused Mr Rule to resign in protest, both of Nottingham's two current Tory councillors will be standing as independents on May 4.
The Conservatives have selected two new candidates for Clifton West, with candidates for Labour, the Nottingham Independents and the Liberal Democrats also fighting the seat. The situation has led some of those living in the area to feel torn.
