On a tough night generally for the Conservative Party nationally, we were pleased to retain 3 of the 4 seats that we held that were up for election yesterday. Cllrs Hilton Spratt and Cllr Alan Briggs were re-elected in Witham and Birchwood, while Cllr Rachel Storer was newly elected in Hartsholme, replacing the retiring Cllr Andy Kerry.
This leaves us with 9 seats in total on the City Council, with a further 2 held by the Liberal Democrats and 22 by Labour.
