Liberal Democrats Win By-Election

Written by morty on January 30, 2009 – 12:44 am -

Liberal Democrats have won a by-election for Marlow Town Council gaining the seat from the Conservatives.

On a low turnout (14.5%) due in part to the Conservatives decision not to issue poll cards Liberal Democrat Ivor Coleman swept to victory with a majority of 23!

It is clear that no matter what is happening at the national level the Conservatives in Buckinghamshire are becoming increasingly unpopular.

The full result

Ivor Coleman (Liberal Democrat) 503

Ian Wernham (Conservative) 480

Our congratulations to Ivor and the team.
