● Jen Emery, Norwich Road, Cromer - Labour
● Tony Nash, Cromer Road, Overstrand - Conservative

Contrary to a previous report, John Morgan will not be a candidate, following an error in his application.

At least voters have the choice of an Independent, someone who does not have to perform for their party and is held back by dogma, serving aspirational promises they can't keep. An Independent has the freedom to represent all in Cromer, good luck to him and Cromer as a whole.
