A former Labour councillor who acrimoniously quit after being barred from standing as a candidate has formed a new party. Coun Matt Wynne will lead the Edgeley Community Association (ECA) - now registered with the Electoral Commission - at Stockport council’s ‘all out’ local elections in May.As its name suggests, the fledgling party will concentrate on the new Edgeley ward, which is set to separate from Cheadle Heath under a boundary shake-up. Coun Wynne launched a blistering attack on his local party last year, claiming he had fallen victim to a ‘weaponised’ selection process following a ‘gradual takeover’ of what he called the ‘far left’.
