Lawford & New Bilton County Council By Election

I suppose that any election where there is a tie between the top two candidates, two recounts leading to your candidate loosing by just one vote, is always going to be tough to come to terms with. That certainly the case for Claire Watson who fought a really strong campaign in Lawford & New Bilton and must be asking herself what if we had made just one more phone call, or visited just one more house. Claire shouldn't be too down hearted because to change a Labour majority of 500 three years ago to just one vote is a real achievement, and one that give me great heart for when the General Election eventually comes.
