ANOTHER nice young man enters the fray and cut and thrust of local politics. Tom Kelly worked hard last year and this year as well. A well deserved victory. We still think that if it talks like a Lib Dem, walks like a Lib Dem and thinks like a Lib Dem then, it, probably is a Lib Dem but Tom’s intelligence and maturity will be an asset to the chamber.

Labour ran a really good campaign as well. They used the ward as a sounding board and did well to get 693 votes.

UKIP’s Alan Broad drove a van around. “Give us a job. Go on giisit. I could do that…”
