According to the article as it stands, Mr Benton was "elected to serve as a councillor on Sefton Borough Council in 1970." I don't think this is possible. Sefton _Metropolitan_ Borough Council (to which I've currently linked the expression) didn't exist until 1974; is the date wrong, or was Mr Benton possibly on Bootle Borough Council, Southport Borough Council, Crosby MBC, Formby UDC, Litherland UDC, or West Lancashire RUDC? I'm sure that someone knows definitely. Tevildo (talk) 17:41, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to the Municipal Yearbook for 1971, "Benton, J. E." was a member of Bootle County Borough council. Sam Blacketer (talk) 18:11, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
