Local by-election success

In the Forest of Dean constituency, we have been campaigning hard to get Len Lawton elected as District Councillor in a Newent by-election (pictured here with Len and to his right, our Association's Deputy Chair (Political)).

On Thursday, he successfully won just under half the votes cast, almost double those of his nearest rival. The Labour candidate received only 15.4% of votes cast. This was a real team effort and those who campaigned late into the day on polling day were simply thrilled that our efforts paid off. Len is going to be a great addition to the Conservative team.
