Now there's a headline we are thrilled to see...

Yes, Dominic Skinner had fantastic success in the Stratford North County Council by-election. Dominic is our PPC and is developing a well-deserved reputation as a committed community activist and an energetic and determined campaigner. 

The numbers speak for themselves:

Liberal Democrats (Dominic Skinner): 887
Conservatives: 610
Stratford First Independent: 345
Labour: 180
Green Party: 144

We now hold all 3 County Council seats in Stratford-upon-Avon, as well as a 4th County Council seat in Studley (Clive Rickhards):

• Stratford North: Dominic Skinner
• Stratford West: Jenny Fradgley
• Stratford South: Kate Rolfe

In the Town Council by-election for Welcombe Ward, Kevin Taylor, contested his first election and came a very creditable second.
