The Lancashire Telegraph tells us more:
Stephanie Booth, who is married to Cherie’s father, actor Tony Booth, was confirmed at the weekend and will contest the seat which has become vacant because sitting Liberal Democrat councillor Claire Townley has decided not to seek re-election. She faces an election on May 1 with Hilary Myers being chosen as the Liberal Democrat candidate.

What would Alf Garnett say!?
Hilary is the local PPC as well, this should be interesting. Wrong side of the (large) constituency for me to do much but still.
Labour came 3rd last time but LD vote % went down by ten points, it’s a 3-way marginal with the BNP in weak 4th, the name factor may help or hurt her depending, not been up that far yet though.
