EspañolFRANK BRANSTON
'Frank Branston' is the mayor of the borough of Bedford in Bedfordshire, England.
He stood as an independent in the borough's first direct election for mayor in 2002[1], backed at the time by the Better Bedford Independent Party, which has since been disbanded.[2]
Prior to entering politics Branston was the owner of two local newspapers, ''Bedfordshire on Sunday'' and ''Luton on Sunday''. He and his wife sold their 88% stake in the newspapers in 2002[3]. He is also the author of two novels, "Sergeant Ritchie's Conscience" (1978) and "Up and Coming Man" (1977).
Branston was reelected on Thursday 3 May 2007, after a count which lasted 16 hours due to problems with an experimental electronic counting system.[4]
