Council candidate accused of 'misleading voters' with local address

A Manchester council candidate has been accused of misleading voters by sending campaign letters with a local address despite not living in the area.

Astrid Johnson, the Green Party candidate standing in Woodhouse Park who lives in Moss Side, used a Wythenshawe address in her letter to postal voters. The Wythenshawe address is actually the home of Greeen councillor, Rob Nunney.

Ms Johnson says it is used for written correspondence with local residents so that he can respond to their enquiries. But Labour councillor Sarah Judge, whose seat is under threat in this key election battleground, has accused her rival of 'misleading' local residents - claims refuted by Ms Johnson.
