UKIP Candidate Change

It seems there has been a change in the UKIP candidate for York Central. John Upex is now standing in Harrogate and Knaresborough. The new UKIP Candidate for York Central is Paul Abbott.

Paul Abbott stood in the Scarborough and Whitby seat in the 2005 general election where he came in last with 2% of the vote. So far I haven't been able to find much other information about Paul Abbott but it seems from his recent letter to the York Press that he is a local businessman who owns holiday cottages. This letter also suggests he is involved with the Micklegate Traders and it is therefore possible that he is the same Paul Abbott who is the Micklegate Sub-postmaster but I have not yet verified whether this is correct.

More information and, hopefully, a photo once I have confirmed Paul Abbott's identity. As yet I have not found a website for him.
