Heidi Allen announced on 29 October 2019 that she would not stand for re-election at the next general election.

Anyone skilled at adding this development correctly?

Notability of candidates' residence?

Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The 2024 general election will be fought between residents of the constituency: Chris Carter-Chapman for the Conservatives, Miranda Fyfe for the Green Party, an Independent Gordon Strachan, and Luke Viner for the Labour Party. Also joining the contest are Harrison Edwards for Reform UK who lives in the North East Hertfordshire constituency and Pippa Heylings for the Liberal Democrats who lives in the St Neots & Mid Cambridgeshire Constituency.

This paragraph in lede is very bulky and the only information it adds to the article is the residence of the candidates.

But is it really notable? I don't see sentences like that on pages for other constituencies, like Saffron Walden or Islington North.

It would be understandable if the residence of the candidates caused some notable controversy, but currently it just biases the lede against libdems and reform.

So I think we should remove it unless there are good reasons to keep.
