INAUGURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTIONS
In the re-organisation of local government, Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth were combined to form the new Warwick District Council (WDC). 11 of the 58 members were allocated to Kenilworth.
Five re-counts were required in the closely contested Park Hill ward, where Mr Bramwell beat Mr Harrison by just two votes for the second available seat.
Liberals dominated in the combined Abbey & Borrowell ward, gaining all three seats. Overall they had five candidates elected in the town.
Within the WDC, the Liberals have just seven seats, which may not seem many. But they now hold the balance of power at the new council, as the Tories hold 26 seats and Labour 25.
