End Game

And so, late last night, the results came in that Bath & North-East Somerset council remained in No Overall Control. Our friend, Brook Whelan was elected in Widcombe with a fantastic result against the Lib Dems, and Gavin Bishop doubled the Conservative vote in Twerton though was unfortunately not elected.

Closer to home, unfortunately the two Liberal Democrat students in the University ward of Bathwick took both seats off previously incumbent Conservative councillors, John Bailey and Sir Elgar Jenkins. However, this was more than made up elsewhere with the Conservative party taking 31 seats on the council, while the Lib Dems slipped to 26. More coming soon…
