Catriona Corfield will stand for the Green Party, Andrew Cripps for the National Front and Denis MacDonald for the British National Party.

"I'm a school governor at Minet Nursery and Infant School [in Avondale Drive, Hayes], I petitioned against the closure of our post office in Hayes Town.

" I've been campaigning for the area to be cleaned up and I've been involved in campaigning to save Hayes Carnival and I wish to continue working on behalf of the community.

People can vote on Thursday, July 17 between 7am and 10pm and at the Salvation Army Hall in Coldharbour lane, Hayes; at Hayes Cricket Club in Wood End; Minet Junior School in Avondale Drive; and Hayes Methodist Church Hall in Station Road.
