The Lobley hill result is a standout,this was a Lab-Lib marginal,to thump them by so much is a real boost.

Very sad to see voters of Ipplepen Ward were not given the opportunity to vote labour. What did they get condems or condems - we should stand in every seat however low our support might be.

Good set of results but we must start standing candidates in some of these posh wards!

The Scarborough result is now in.
Sizeable swing to Labour, despite a derisory turnout ;-)

On the Gosforth Valley result, the scale of the collapse of the Lib Dem vote needs to be highlighted as does the swing to Labour who had its best result ever in a Ward that has never been our territory. It is mainly a massive private housing estate which incorporated the second largest such development in Western Europe in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
