TISDALE UNSEATED
The annual election of the KUDC took place when four present members had to retire and seek re-election, if they choose to do so. All four came forward but only three managed to retain their seats.
Tisdale Shocked
The major shock though, was George Tisdale losing his seat in Abbey Ward by a massive 192 votes to opponent Mr Naylor of the ‘Ratepayers Association’. Mr Tisdale had been chairman for the past two years and nobody expected this. After the result was announced, he said; ‘Mr Naylor is the straightest man I have ever fought. We both played the game and I congratulate him on his success’.
Two Vote Winner
Tension was greatest in the count at Borrowell. After the initial count, Samuel Rollason and William Hiorns, had finished level on 261. But after two furthur recounts, Mr Rollason was declared the winner by 2 votes.
In Park Hill, Labour candidate, James Leaver, just got the better of former councillor Frederick Faxon by 26 votes. Mr Leaver is the only socialist on the council.
‘King of the Castle Ward’, Leonard Smalley was returned unopposed.
