The post you are reporting:
Who would have thought the Tories would lose a seat in Sandwich to an indy
That just shows how unpopular they have become !
It's a shame the Indies didn't pick up a few more votes .
But Mr Defriend was elected into the town council as we're three greens so Labour lost control of the town council .
Mr precious lost his seats .
Thankfully th rejected candidate from tower hamlets who has followed Labour before being kicked out of priory, and other areas stood as an indy in tower hamlets (m woods)
But surprised to see she was lost again the green candidate won!
Maybe now she will have realised people don't want her representing them!
Great to see undemocratic Tory and elphicke can Jeacock didn't get in on District or town.
With Tories losing over 1,000 seats they have to hope things improve.
What has to be a little concerning is that candidates who live and work in the ward , for example At Radigunds and known to be active didn't get in, whilst Labour candidates living as far away as Capel did, and probably won't be seen in the ward for four years.
.Mr Wanstall still remains popular and got a town council seat but he's joined this time by his wife who won in Buckland As Labour couldn't find enough candidates !.
It's rumoured that the local conservatives refused to have Mr Wanstall as the Tory candidate instead putting forward an unknown from outside the ward, I think that was an error of judgement looking at district result, maybe should have selected Mr Wanstall.
So Labour has sacrificed the town council where that has been changes , Mr Defriend , three greens,
Join, and know it's interesting to see who runs the council.
Also Mr Rix and precious didn't get in
