MASSIVE TURNOUT BY KENILWORTH VOTERS
Not for many years has a Kenilworth election produced such a large turnout of voters. Every ward produced more that 80%, un-heard of in recent times. In the event, the Liberals gained two seats from the Tories, much to everyones surprise. The lone Labour voice is Bill Wozencroft, who retained his seat by topped the poll in St John’s ward with 790 votes.
Liberal, Helen Dore received the highest vote in the whole election, 1,986 in Abbey & Borrowell.
Four Conservatives who seeked re-election retained their seats. One surprise return to the Tory ranks was James Whitby. He was first elected in Kenilworth in 1964, during the days of the old KUDC but did not seek re-election in the1967 poll. The Tories also saw the return of Spencer Harrision, another veteran of the old council.
In Kenilworth, the Tories took 46.6% of votes cast, Liberals 39.7 and Labour 13.5.
In the district, the Tories have overall control of the council with 40 of the 58 seats. Liberals have just 4 seats (all in Kenilworth), Labour have 13 seats and for the first time ever, one Independent, representing the Ratepayers of Whitnash (later renamed Whitnash Residents Association)
