TORIES GAIN ONE SEAT FROM LIB-DEMS – DUE TO SWITCH
Following problems with the newly introduced electronic counting system, the counting had to be done the old way – manually. This delayed the results by several days. The count began on election night – 3rd May – but didn’t end until Tuesday 7th May.
In the end, the Conservatives gained one seat in Kenilworth due to long-standing Liberal Democrat, Dave Shilton switching to the Tories. He retained his seat in Park Hill, topped the poll with 1681 votes, the largest in all three wards.
The Resuffle
Alan Cockburn and Pauline Edwards, who held seats in St. John’s did not seek re-election. So the Conservatives had a small ‘reshuffle’ of candidates around the wards. John Hatfield moved from Abbey to St. John’s and Richard Davies from Park Hill also to St. John’s. This helped two new recruits get elected, Andrew Mobbs and George Illingworth.
In the district overall, the Tories gained 7 seats and now have 24 councillors, Labour and Lib-Dems have 9 each plus 4 Independents. This gives them a two seat majority in the 46-seat council. The first time in 12 years they have control.
