LIB DEMS MARCH ON – BUT ALL SQUARE IN KENILWORTH
In Kenilworth it finished all square between the Tories and Lib-Dems, locked on four seats a piece, just as four years ago.
Michael Coker returned after four years away on gardening leave (apparently), regained his seat in Abbey ward. Lib-Dem stalwart, Jack Bastock who topped the ward in 1995, did not seek re-election but was elected to the town council. Another Lib-Dem, Pat Ryan was un-seated, coming only sixth, but did get a strong vote of 1012.
The Tories lost veteran Spencer Harrison in Park Hill along with Graham Windybank, who’s switch from St. John’s to Park Hill, didn’t do him any favours. Both seats being taken by Lib-Dem pair, Dave Shilton and Doug Golby. But the Conservatives did take some comfort in taking all three seats in St. John’s.
But in the district it was a different tale all together. The Conservatives lost three seats, Labour lost one, Lib-Dems gained two and the Independents also gained two . In Leamington the Tories have no seats at all.
The 45 seat council now consists of: Labour 16, Liberal Democrats 13, Conservatives 10, Whitnash Residents Association 3, Independents 3. No overall control.
Kenilworth District Councillors
4 Liberal Democrats (D. Shilton, D. Golby, H. Pavier, H. Thomas)
4 Conservative Party (M. Coker, A. Cockburn, P. Edwards, B. Wooller)
