RATEPAYERS NOT HAPPY WITH COMPROMISE
Five vacancies were available in this election due to one resignation and the usual four retiring members. This seemed to create a great deal of interest especially with the ‘compromise agreement’ between the Liberal and Unionist Associations, in which they would support each other in this election of one Conservative and four Liberals candidates. This would extend to next year’s election when the two associations pledged themselves to support four Conservatives candidates.
This did not meet with the approval of the ratepayers, so three independent candidates were nominated and two were elected, these being Messrs. Gee and Bostock who were both new to the council. Mr. Woods, the other independent candidate was also expected to be returned but fell 11 votes short of Henry Street. One suggestion was that his name was last on the polling list and by the time voters had got to his name they had used up their five allocated votes. Liberal William Riley failed to be elected having dropped out of the council last year. It certainly was a mixed-up election for the people of Kenilworth, in which a lot of cross-voting took place.
Up until 5 o’clock only about 300 people had voted. As is the case with KUDC elections the last two hours of the poll is usually the busiest time (between 6 and 8 o’clock). This is when the labourers are arriving back from their day’s work.
The results were declared outside the council house at 11.30pm on a chilly evening by returning officer Mr. J. J. Willington-Wilmshurst. Only about 12 people were present to hear the declaration.
