Thank you to all that went out on Thursday and voted!
Colin Darracott and I have been returned as your Councillors for Walcot Ward.
We knocked on almost every door on the run up to polling day and delivered far too many leaflets.
The final results were:
David Christopher DIXON
Liberal Democrats
723
Elected
Colin Gordon DARRACOTT
Liberal Democrats
706
Elected
Susan Elizabeth Francesca YUILLE
Conservative Party
605
Jim YUILLE
Conservative Party
572
Nick HALES
Green Party
475
Patrick Michael MCCARRON
Labour Party
189
Bernard William MORGAN
Labour Party
170
Across the district the Conservative Party gained 5 seats, now holding 31 seats on the Council, two short of the 33 needed to take overall control of the Council.
The Liberal Democrats lost 3 seats - leaving us with 26 seats overall.
Labour lost 2 seat - giving them five seats overall.There are 3 independent Councillors.
The Council is still in no overall control and the Conservatives are now the largest party. We wait to see how they decide to make up an administration.
Colin and I look forward now to continuing the good work we have started in Walcot.
