A good campaign here in Rushcliffe. Hoping against hope to buck the national trend and damage the Tories. Always a long shot, but if effort were to be rewarded we’d have a landslide!
Just heard we may have gained a seat in Cameron’s backyard of West Oxfordshire in Carterton – by one vote! A town we haven’t had a cllr since 1998.
Have just come back from seventeen hours hard work in Sheffield!
I am absolutely delighted with our campaign in Hillsborough Ward – win or lose, we have run an incredibly professional campaign including trying to save a local secondary school from Labour’s plan to close it.
The whole council campaign in Sheffield has been impressive with an amazing amount of work (and paper) passing through our offie in the last year. People in all of our target wards have told us they are thoroughly sick of hearing from us!
The count isn’t until tomorrow morning – but I am perfectly happy predicting gains in Sheffield.
Although we lost control of Bath, I think they deserve huge credit for not only not being wiped out (which was a danger due to local issues such as the Spa and Churchill House), but for actually taking back some of the city seats which had slipped from them last time round.
Time for the Tories who have always been slippery about taking responsibility for their decisions in Bath to show some leadership.
