Just a day after it was revealed one councillor had spelt his own ward’s name wrong in a campaign leaflet, another council hopeful has made the same mistake.
Rae Voller, who is standing for the Green Party in Seacombe, Wirral, spelt the ward’s name ‘Secombe’ in one of her leaflets. While it is important to note she has spelt it correctly in other parts of the leaflet, it is another spelling blunder from one of those hoping to be elected to Wirral Council on May 5.
Cllr Pat Cleary, leader of the Green group on Wirral Council, said he was very sorry the mistake had been made. He added that the competence of Ms Voller as a candidate should be measured by the work she does for the local community all year round, rather than a spelling mistake on a leaflet.
