In addition to the gain off the Conservatives in Hampstead Town (Hampstead and Kilburn constituency), there were three other excellent Liberal Democrat results last night in key Parliamentary constituencies: on Truro City Council, the Liberal Democrats took a seat off Mebyon Kernow (Truro and Falmouth constituency), in Alfriston ward, Wealden District Council, the Liberal Democrats took a seat off the Conservatives with a 24% swing (Lewes constituency) and in Colden Common & Twyford ward (Winchester constituency) we held a seat with an increased majority and swing from the Conservatives.

LD 612
CON 388
MK 151
LAB 107
