TORIES RULE IN FIRST TOWN COUNCIL ELECTION

Polling for the inaugural Kenilworth Town Council (KTC) election ran along side the second Warwick District Council election, and the results were almost a mirror image of each other. It was a swing to the right with the Conservatives taking control of both councils.

Nine members from the former council retained their seats, but one who didn’t was Labour’s Chris Webster, finishing only fifth in St John’s. He had been a member of the old KUDC since 1964, and was chairman during 1969-70.

A feature of Castle ward, was that four of the candidates were women. One being Quarry Road resident, Jane Litterick, wife of Selly Oak MP, Thomas Litterick. He was a former member of the old KUDC before it became a Town Council. He had resigned his seat in protest at the way in which the change-over took place. Members were automatically transferred from the old council to the new. In his opinion an election should have taken place.

Drawing-of-Lots Decides Final Seat

It was tight-as-a-drum for seats in Abbey Ward. Liberal Jack Bastock, was well ahead of the rest, but the next three places only one vote seperated them. After two re-counts, Enys Thomas was elected in second place, but tories Nick Wilson and Patrica Adams were dead-locked on 466. So to decide who took the third and final seat, two pieces of paper went into a ballot box: elected and not elected. Mr Wilson was the successful candidate. This was the first election that he had contested. He is a solicitor and lives in Henry Street. For ‘adminstration’ purposes, Patrica Adams was deducted one vote.

Four Independent candidates stood for first time since 1964: Moore, Sunley, Potter and Eric Smith. The latter being a former councillor and chairman of the old KUDC. None of the four were elected.

LIBERAL GAIN ONE SEAT FROM CONSERVATIVES

This by-election was triggered due to the resignation of Paul and Ann Pearce, who were leaving the town to live in London. Both had been elected in the inaugural poll last year.

But the Tories could only hold-on to one seat, while the Liberals took the other. Tory, Patrica Adams, of Villers Road, who topped the poll, is a former town councillor who was co-opted in 1975. She replaced the then retiring, Mrs Salkeld. But in last year’s poll she did not get re-elected. Patrica has lived in the town for 14 years.

The other successful candidate, Liberal, Lance Bramwell, lives in Clinton Lane and works for Automative Products in Leamington. He had contested the Park Hill seat in 1976 but came fifth out of nine candidates. He had also been a district councillor from 1973 to 1975. He is Kenilworth born and breed and his interests include conservation.

TORIES IN CONTROL EVEN WITH A SWING TO THE LIBERALS

Four new members were elected to the council, with the Liberals gaining two seats from the Conservatives. But they still have overall control of the council. The three tory casualties were Wilson, Hogarth and Ronald Stansfield, the latter being a Kenilworth Councillor since 1958. He became Mayor in 1977-78, and previous to that he had been chairman of the old KUDC twice, in 1964-65 and 1971-2. Strangley though, for this election, he swopped wards from Castle to Abbey, which was a mistake, as he only finished forth. Patrica Adams retained her seat at Park Hill which she won at a by-election, two years ago.

New Tory councillors are John Cooke, a keen photographer of Amherst Road and Daphne Harrison of Station Road, who is a former GB Olympic swimmer, no less. She is the wife of District Councillor, Spencer Harrision.

The two new Liberals are Ken Griffiths, a civil engineer, representing Abbey ward and Roger Rolfe, a teacher, elected to Borrowell.

Subsequent Co-opted Member

In March 1983 – Viki McClean was elected onto the council by a vote of 8-7 by the members.

The vacancy was caused by the death of Richard Monnington in February. He had been a town and district councillor since 1976 and became Mayor of Kenilworth in 1981/2. He was just 55 years-old.

LIBERALS GAIN CRITICAL SEAT FROM TORIES

This by-election was caused by the death of councillor Harry Potts, who died in September. He had served on the old KUDC from 1967 to 1974, and on the town council since its creation five years ago. He was also Mayor from 1975-76.

It was a straight fight between Tory and Liberal, both eager to find a seat at Southbank Road. Mr Windybank had previously been a candidate in 1976, and also at the election earlier this year, but was unsuccesful on both occasions. For Mr Harrision, it was his first town council election, however, he had been member of the old KUDC from 1967 to 1974, and has also been a District Councillor for the past two years. He was hoping to join his wife, Daphne on the council, who was elected to Castle ward in the May election earlier this year.

It was a close contest between the two, with Mr Windybank, of Brookside Ave, coming out on top by just 47 votes. The result means the Conservatives lose overall control at the council.

Cllr Windybank paid tribute to the Liberal organisation in the town, but especially in the Park Hill area, which made his success possible. He said the main issues in the town, as far has he was concerned, was traffic problems and the Cherry Orchard development plan.

WOOLLER WINS SEAT FOR TORIES

Present Mayor, Bill Wozencroft, said he was a very good friend and a good man who had given a lifetime of service to the town and would be greatly missed.

Following his death there were discussions at the council if a by-election was even needed to fill the vacancy. But under the rules, if at least two of the electors of St John’s ward gave notice that an election should take place, in writing, then one would have to take place. If not, the council members would need to fill the vacancy by co-option. Tory group leader, Florence Adcock, suggested the council co-opt a member of same political persuasion as the late Mr Cox, until the town council election next May. But she was advised by town clerk, Harry Sunley, that this was not now possible, and so the position had to be advertised.

TORIES RETAIN SEAT

Mrs Adcock was first elected to the old KUDC at a by-election in the Park Hill ward in May 1962. She then switched to the new Windy Arbour ward when it was introduced in 1967 and there she has remained. She bacame town Mayor in 1979/80.

The Conservative victory was a forgone conclusion, that’s probably why the turnout was pitifully low, just over a fifth of voters bothering to turn-up at the polling stations. Labour only stood in the election because the town council wanted to co-opt a member, which Labour did not agree with that, so an election had to take place.

James Whitby is not entirely new to council work as he first became a member of the old KUDC when he was elected at Park Hill in 1964, but remained for only one term. He is an executive with a midland’s company of exporters. He was born in Merton, Surrey but has lived in Kenilworth for past 27 years.

TORIES TAKE CONTROL IN NEW WARD SYSTEM

The six traditional wards were replaced by three larger ones. The historical: Windy Arbour, Borrowell and Castle wards were gone. Also, the number of councillors was reduced from 18 down to 16. One further change was that elections would now be every four years, replacing the longstanding triennial polls.

These changes did not go down well with the heavily defeated Liberals. They claimed the results on the new ward boundaries had favoured the Tories, and had been engineered by them. Town Major, Bill Wozencroft lost his seat, as did three others members, deputy Mayor Haydn Thomas, his wife, Enys and Liberal leader Graham Windybank. The Liberals were now down to just three councillors, a reduction of four from the 1979 election.

Jack Bastock, one of the Liberals who survived the rout, stated that the new boundaries were a ‘big con’, the wards were so large the result was distorted. The Liberals also believed that many new people on the Knight’s Meadow estate were not aware of the Liberals strength or hard work they do in Kenilworth, and as a result voted politically.

New to the Tory ranks are solicitor, Michael Coker and Spencer Harrison who are also District Councillors. Other new members include Peggy Cox, wife of the late, Jack Cox. Tony Dalton, an office equipment supplier, has lived in Kenilworth for seven years and was elected in Park Hill. Mike James, John Hatfield and Pauline Edwards are also completely new to council work. But Kenneth Hogarth is an ‘old’ face to the council having been Town Mayor (1976-77) and Chairman of the old KUDC (1973-74), before losing his seat in 1979.

Viki McClean is not entirely a new face, having been co-opted onto the council in March this year. Bob Wooller, following his by-election success last September, topped the tree in St John’s with a whopping 2046 votes, the highest of any candidate.

ALLIANCE ROUTED – FOLLOWING A BIG ROW

Cllr Bastock said he was very concerned about the statements made by the Tories in their election address leaflets. They said that the Alliance would put an end to free car-parking in Kenilworth, when infact we have fought for free parking since 1974. They also accused us of voting against the swimming pool, when we were all in favour of getting a pool for the town. What we said was that it was not big enough and should not be put in the Abbey Fields. But Cllr Rawnsley said the complaints were; “totally rubbish, from beginning to end”. I will explain our leaflets to Cllr Bastock anytime, all we did was to warn the public of the dangers of the opposition gaining control of the council.

The Tories increased their stranglehold on the council, winning 15 of the 16 seats. One noticeable new face to the Tory ranks is historian and author, John Drew, who topped the poll in Park Hill. He wrote his first book in 1969, followed by many others of his home town. He has been on TV, and notabaly on radio, appearing twice on the popular BBC Radio 4’s series, Down Your Way. Three years ago the Town Council recognised his contribution to the town by naming a street after him, Drew Crescent. This was not the first town election he had contested, he had stood in the inaugural poll of 1976, as a Liberal, but failed to get elected.

Graham Windybank regained his seat following his defeat at the 1983 poll. He now has switched to the Conservatives from the Alliance.

LIB-DEMS MUSCLE IN

Following the rout of 1987, the Liberal Democrats now have four new seats on the council. But the Tories still have a six seat majority.

The Lib-Dems who got elected were husband and wife team of Haydn and Enys Thomas, who return to the council, with newcomers Helen Pavier and Pat Ryan. Jack Bastock kept his seat as well as winning back his seat on the District Council, which he lost eight years ago. He said “I’m very pleased. We can certainly have some good open debates now. The people of Kenilworth elected me, so I shall certainly be putting Kenilworth first”.

It was Abbey Ward that did all the damage for the Tories, where three of their high profile members failed to be re-elected. Kenneth Rawnsley, John Cooke and John Hatfield, being the casualties. Rawnsley and Cooke also lost their District Council seats.

Mr Rawnsley has dominated local politics since 1967, when he was first elected to the old KUDC. He was Mayor twice, and has been the leader of the District Council since it was created in 1973. The shocked 67-year-old retired BT sales superintentent, says he is already making plans for the future. “I believe I have great knowledge of local government, which I want to put to use. I hope to continue in public life”. He added; “The district and town were my life, I’ve been around a long time”. He believes there was a protest vote in Abbey ward against government issues such as the poll tax. Kenilworth people might also have been influenced by his decision to abstain from voting in the Eagle Lane planning application.

John Hatfield, after eight years on the council was also a disappointed man, he was due to become the next Mayor. But he said “I shall be back, they haven’t heard the last of me. I still have just as much influence, perhaps more. The council meetings are only a tenth of the work I did for the town, people will still come to me with their problems”. He is angry that national politics influenced voters. “We were the ones fighting against these cuts”. He also believes the long list of 17 names on the ballot paper confused many voters.

John Cooke, although he lost his town seat, is still a county councillor, where he will be taking over the chairmanship of the Social Services Committee in June. Mr Cooke, aged 33, said he would miss the town council where he started his political career back in 1979, but doesn’t take the result personally. He was Mayor in 1986-7.

Park Hill was dominated by the Tories. Tony Dalton and Spencer Harrison were re-elected plus two new faces to the council, Joanna Illingworth and Peter Durrant.

Kenilworth Town Councillors

11 Conservatives (T. Dalton, S. Harrison, P. Durrant, J. Illingworth, P. Cox, P. Edwards, R. Wooller, G. Windybank, F. Bunker, M. Weaver, M. Coker)
