CLEAN SWEEP FOR TORIES IN KENILWORTH
Bob Butler, of the SDP-Liberal Alliance, the soul survivor of the 1983 poll, lost his seat in Park Hill. He was very disappointed and puzzled by the result. He also lost his town council seat, and said he is contemplating standing down from local politics. He said; “This might be my ‘swan song’, I’ve worked hard in Kenilworth for the last 12 years but if this is what the voters want, then that is what they will get, you never really know the reasons why. I haven’t faced any animosity from people or the oppostion”.
Town Mayor-elect, Bob Wooller was delighted with the Kenilworth and overall district results, saying it is down to the hard working Tory group. Councillor Rawnsley, currently the leader of the Conservative group on the district council, believed the success was due to their record over the last four years. He was disappointed to lose three councillors in Leamington but happy that they had a sweeping success in Kenilworth.
