The starting whistle has not yet been blown, but already politicians are at war over May's county council elections.

The leader of the Conservative group on Lancashire County Council has accused a sitting Labour County Councillor of “alarming arrogance and shameful contempt for voters” in a row over a leaflet distributed to 1600 households in the Garrison ward area of Fulwood.

Coun Geoff Driver took issue with the leaflet which he says misleads the public with a claim that County Coun Kevin Ellard is the “new councillor” for the redrawn council division of Preston East.
