‘Independant Nine’ – in Charge At KUDC
Following the introduction of the ward system last year,[and the shenanigans that occured] not surprisingly, annual elections returned this year. Four members were chosen to ‘retire’, these being: Ackerman, Gee, Hiorns and Faxon. Two were re-elected but two lost their seats.
Elizabeth (Lily) Randall, who regained her seat which she had lost in last years election, defeated Mr Faxon by a slender 24 votes. Frank Weetman is a new member to the council.
The declaration by returning officer Mr Whittaker came at 9.15pm, only one hour and fifteen minutes after the poll had finished at 8 o’clock.
