TORIES HOLD SEAT IN ST JOHN’S

Kenilworth’s St John’s remains with the Conservatives following Graham Windybank’s victory. This means they still hold all eight seats in Kenilworth on the district council.

This by-election was called because of the death of James Whitby who died last month. He had been a district councillor since 1983 and also served on both the town council and the old KUDC.

Mr Windybank, who lives in Brookside Ave, has lived in the town for 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.

Kenilworth District Councillors

8 Conservatives (K. Rawnsley, M. Coker, J. Cooke, B. Wooller, J. Wilson, T. Dalton, S. Harrison, G. Windybank)
