Voters give Lib Dems Massive Vote of Confidence
 Voters
throughout the Watford Constituency have shown their overwhelming support
for the Liberal Democrats in the May local elections.
After gaining seven seats - five
from Labour and two from the Conservatives, Watford Constituency Lib
Dems now hold a total of 31 seats on Watford Borough Council and Three
Rivers District Council. In addition, Lib Dems hold 16 of the 21 Parish
Council seats that are within the borders of Watford Constituency.
With Lib Dems winning over 50%
of the votes cast and making up more than 60% of the District and Borough
Councillors within the Constituency, voters clearly believe the party
is Making a Difference.
In Watford Borough, the progress
of Elected Mayor Dorothy Thornhill's team in putting right the consequences
of the disastrous financial and organisational management of the previous
Labour administration won favour. Five of the six seats being defended
by Labour, and the previous Tory stronghold of Park Ward were lost
to the Lib Dems.
Three Rivers District Council has
five Wards in the Constituency, and Lib Dems comfortably held the three
they were defending, as well as gaining Carpenders Park Ward from the
Conservatives. |
