Strong results for the Conservatives in county council elections
Stratford District has returned results for all of its county council wards, with the Conservatives winning all but two.
Overall turnout in the county elections is 42.15 per cent, with 44,896 votes cast in total.
The loss of Stratford North to the Tories will come as a blow to the Liberal Democrats, but there was some good news for the party as Kate Rolfe and Jennifer Fradgley had convincing wins in Stratford South and Stratford West.
Giving her view on the results, Conservative Jo Barker, re-elected for Shipston, said: “It’s been brilliant so far, most of our candidates have got 50 per cent of the vote or more, you can’t ask for much more than that. I’m very pleased with the national picture, particularly the result in Hartlepool.”
