Hi All,
Firstly a huge thank you to everyone who helped in anyway with this year's elections. They really showed that we can punch well above our weight!
Sadly we missed Fant ward by just 168 votes but we recorded our best ever result there (23.1%). Labour pulled out the stops in the ward with a team of around 30 people on election day to bully people into voting (I had a numerous complaints about their behaviour), however they still didn't win either.
Nationally we have gained seats from the conservatives but the count is still going on so I will update when the full story emerges.
Our local vote share was significantly up on last year with some great results across the borough:
Bearsted 9.7% (beat LD)
Boxley 10.9%
Bridge 11.8%
Coxheath 5.7%
East 15.6%
Fant 23.1% (beat LD)
Headcorn 29.4%
Heath 5.5%
High St 7.3%
Marden 11.2% (beat LD)
North Downs 9.3%
Shepway North 10.5% (beat NF)
Onwards and upwards!
Kind regards
Stuart
