Shepway Lib Dems have thanked everyone who supported them in the County Council elections in Shepway. The shock results saw UKIP gaining 4 seats in the area, the Green Party winning one, and the Conservatives narrowly hanging onto their last seat in Elham Valley.
Michael Mullaney, Liberal Democrat parliamentary spokesman for Bosworth, took part in this Sunday's East Midlands Politics Show. In it he set out how the good results for the Lib Dems in Hinckley and Bosworth and more generally in Leicestershire show that the Lib Dems are the only alternative to the Conservatives in our area.
Liberal Democrats in Hinckley and Bosworth are celebrating a successful result in the Leicestershire County Council elections. The Liberal Democrats held all four of their County Councillors in Hinckley and Bosworth, Voters in Burbage Castle re-elected Stuart Bray and Keith Lynch, while Hinckley voters returned David Bill again and Michael Mullaney was elected too. The Conservatives meanwhile lost one of their seats to UKIP. The results across Hinckley and Bosworth were; 4 seats for the Liberal Democrats, 4 for the Conservatives and 1 for UKIP. This is the first time since modern County Council elections began in 1973, that the Liberal Democrats have finished equal first with the Conservatives in Hinckley and Bosworth.
