FULL HOUSE FOR CONSERVATIVES
An error was found on the Abbey Ward postal ballot papers, which caused a delay in not only the ward’s declaration but the whole election. The issue was that the Labour party’s logo was printed next to the name of Liberal Democrat, Andy Tulloch. Following discussions between Lib-Dems election agent, John Whitehouse, the district council and the Electoral Commission it was decided the 1,090 affected voters would be sent newly printed forms, which would be in a different colour to the original. Mr Whitehouse said that with people voting for up to three candidates from a list of twelve, many voters rely on party logos to help guide their choices. In such a tightly contested ward, it could have seriously affected the outcome of the election.
The results were finally declared on Saturday 9th May and the Tories had taken overall control of the council. Andrew Mobbs, who retained his seat easily in Park Hill is the leader of the council, said he was delighted to have gained six seats which actually is nine seats due to the defections before the election. We had been running a minority administration with 22 councillors before this election, but now with 31 we can push through our policies, especially building new council houses”.
In Kenilworth, all nine Tories candidates were easily returned. In St. John’s, John Dagg and Norman Vincent did not seek re-election and were replaced by Pat Cain and John Cooke. Cllr Cain is new to the council, while John Cooke had previously been a member from 1983 to 1991.
For the Lib-Dems it was a tough election, to say the least. Ann Blacklock, who had been a district councillor since 2003, did not seek re-election, and was a hard-act to follow. Kate Dickson had an increased vote in Abbey ward from the 2011 poll, but could not overhaul Tory, Rowena Hill. This will be her first time on the district council.
The Green Party once again entered nine candidates in Kenilworth. In 2011 they polled 2,815 votes but that was increased this year to 4,823. In the overall district, they had their first ever success, Ian Davison, who was elected in Leamington Brunswick, polling 1,264 votes.
Due to these elections taking place on the same day as the General Election, there was a heavy turnout than usual, with over 70% being recorded in all three wards, the largest since the 1979 election, when over 80% of people voted.
