Sara Jane Trebar, known for leading the campaign to save Farm Terrace allotments, is also standing in the ward alongside Labour's third candidate is Hertfordshire University lecturer Sarah Flynn.

Ms Flynn said she felt motivated to stand by her feeling that while millions has been spent on the High Street and Parade, the needs of people who live, or run independent businesses, in and around the town centre are often neglected.
