I’m very disappointed with the result, but had an inkling on the doorstep that it was slipping from us as early as April.
The gain was from us (Tories) Lynda D was the last councillor elected.
Despite the resounding defeat, we’ll carry on fighting in Hellaby next year!

Hard lines, Omar.
Maybe a change of party for next year will see you elected ?
😉
Cheeky, there’ll be none of that! 🙂
But it is important to tackle the UKIP threat head on, instead of hoping it’ll go away, which many (myself included) are guilty of.
