TORIES HOLD SEAT IN ST JOHN’S
This by-election was called due to the death of James Whitby, who died last month. He had been a district councillor since 1983, and had also served on both the town council and the old KUDC.
St John’s remains with the Conservatives following Graham Windybank’s victory. Mr Windybank, of Brookside Ave, has lived in the town for the past 27 years. He is a widower with two children. He has spent his life in advertising and is a director of a midland agency. As a member of the town council he was chairman of the open spaces working party, and was involved in the work on a management plan for the Common.
