District Election for Chesfield ward.

First, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me in Great Ashby, Little & Great Wymondley, Graveley, Jacks Hill, Todds Green, Titmore Green, Lower Titmore Green, & Redcoats Green.

The tide of Conservative voting in the General election was also reflected in the NHDC Chesfield Ward. The voting was as follows : Conservative: 1682 (Cathryn Henry) Labour: 647 (Simon Peter Watson) Libdem (me): 564 UKIP: 497 (Colin Rafferty) & Green: 149 Felix Power). Turnout was 68.01%

I congratulate Cathryn on her win and look forward to working with her in my role as a Great Ashby Community Councillor.

On a personal positive side, I have gained a lot of campaign experience at district level and have enjoyed meeting and discussing issues with voters at their doors. I would like to thank my colleagues in the local Libdem team but especially to Sal and Steve Jarvis.

I shall continue to serve Great Ashby as a Community Councillor and work with Sal and Cathryn, at district, to address issues and give a strong voice to our community here in Great Ashby.

When the opportunity arises, as Arnie says “I’ll be back!”, I will stand again as a candidate as a district councillor!
