Continuing the party’s excellent run of by-election results in Camden (and more generally in North London), Linda Chung is the new councillor for Hampstead Town ward:
Liberal Democrat 1,242 (44.1%, +11.5%)
Conservative 1,114 (39.6%, -6.9%)
Labour 289 (10.3%, -1.0%)
Green 140 (5.0%, -3.3%)
BNP 29 (1.0%, +1.0%)
Majority: 128 (4.5%)
Swing: 9.2% Conservative to Liberal Democrat
Congratulations Linda, and a good sign for Ed Fordham and his team as this ward is in the Hampstead & Kilburn seat at the next general election (2005 notional result: Labour 36%, Liberal Democrat 35%, Conservative 23%, Others 5%).

Thanks for the various bits of help and advice.
This was great victory for Linda, for Hampstead and as many have observed bodes well for hampstead and kilburn…
Nice to see another former Tapton School pupil getting elected as a councillor.
So glad to hear this. The reaction out on the doorstep last weekend showed that we ran a brilliant campaign.
