Rumours that we’ve held Newcastle and Chesterfield.

Not forgetting 3 gains from Labour in Sheffield, taking the council to NOC.
38 out of 48 seats in Chesterfield in Paul Holmes’ once rock solid Labour seat. I dont have the share of the vote but it must be 60% plus.
I make it 58.4% 🙂
The result in Sheffield was spectacular – in particular in Nick Clegg’s new Hallam constituency, where all five seats were won by over 1,000 votes.
Rest assured, Sheffield will be a Tory-free zone this time next year!
Speaking personally, I was the agent for a ward where we overturned a Labour majority of 215 to win by nearly 500, so I couldn’t be more chuffed.
A year’s hard work totally worthwhile!
Held Chesterfield? We made gains as well, on the previous all time best!
That would be 4 gains in West Dorset.
