Curtis (Con) - 1393
Chapman (Lib) - 499
Hibbert (Lab) - 343
I am really pleased with the result, which sees my share of the vote increase by 8% compared to last time. Thanks to Dave Chapman and Jes for standing, we actually had quite a fun time at the count.
Also pleased that Ralph Butcher was equally (if not more) successful in Whittlesey South.
Biggest giggle of the day was the for the smart Alec who spoiled his ballot paper by putting a £ sign in each of the boxes.
It is also great to see the Conservatives back in control at Shire Hall, but disappointing to see a few of my colleagues lose their seats as well as a couple from the Labour bench who I had a great deal of time for. That sort of churn is inevitable, but always brings a tad of sadness.
Probably the biggest press headline will be Matt Bradney losing his seat. It is a real shame, Matt was a real asset both to his Division and to the County in the work he did with the Highways portfolio.
