MASSIVE TURNOUT BY KENILWORTH VOTERS
Not for many years has a Kenilworth election produced such a large turnout of voters. But as it was the same day as the General Election, so it wasn’t surprising. Every ward produced more that 80%, un-heard of in local elections. 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 at St John’s with 790 votes.
Liberal, Helen Dore received the highest vote in the 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 the 1967 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%.
