The Lib Dems have taken control of another council following a byelection in Winsford for Wharton Ward. Our candidate Bev Theron took the seat from the Conservatives and this took the Lib Dems from just short of a majority to overall control on the town council.
Result:
Bev Theron (Lib Dem) 201
Con 185
Lab 173
Turnout 15.5%
LD Gain from Con
This means there are now no Tories left on Winsford Town Council – which is now made up of 8 Lib Dems and 7 Labour.
