A great result - yesterday was an excellent day and what stood out was the massive sense of "Team Together" and the excellent co-ordination from the committee room.
I enjoyed it - congrats to Chris and Lisa and everyone involved
Heres to the fightback
From Richard Church
Yes, there were special local factors. Two excellent local candidates backed by a local Lib Dem team fighting an excellent local campaign based upon local issues and delivering focuses all year round, not just at election time.
An outgoing Tory councillor who moved to Cornwall after having allowed £3,000 of taxpayers money to be spent on an oil painting of herself merely helped boost our majority.
