Liberal Democrat Election Success as they Easily Hold Watford Borough Council
2 Jun 2014
In the Borough Council elections held on May 22nd, 2014, the Liberal Democrats comfortably held control of their flagship borough giving the lie to media hype surrounding UKIP and Labour resurgence. Despite some success in taking two seats from the Greens, it was not a good day for Labour as just one Liberal Democrat seat fell to them.
The Greens now have only one seat on Watford Borough Council but the Conservatives have made a tentative reappearance taking one seat from an independent (a former renegade Conservative rebel) to keep the beleaguered Tory MP some sort of company until the General Election next year.
The balance of Watford Borough Council is now:
Liberal Democrats, 24; Labour, 11; Green, 1; Conservatives, 1.
