THE full list of people seeking seats to Kendal Town Council next month has been revealed.
South Lakeland District Council has released the list after nominations closed last week.
All 28 seats on Kendal Town Council are up for grabs on May 22.
It represents 16 wards across the area because some wards are so large that they require two councillors to serve it.
In those areas where candidates stand unopposed or where two candidates are standing for the same party, their members automatically fill the seat and does not require any votes.
It has meant early gains for the local Liberal Democrats, which in recent years have held the most seats and the balance of power on Kendal Town Council.
The Lib Dems have put forward a full roster of 28 candidates and their nearest challengers are Labour which have put up 17 candidates to stand.
The Conservatives will contest two wards and the recently-established Kendal Green Party have candidates standing in three wards.
Further afield, candidates are also standing for seats to a number of local parish councils and wards.
