Conservatives hold in Staffordshire

2.22.50pm BST (GMT +0100) Fri 14th Jul 2006

All three by-elections in the West Midlands yesterday were in Staffordshire. The Conservatives held all three, one of them unopposed. I think I have written before that I am against people (whatever party) being elected unopposed as I feel there is a duty on the political parties to offer a choice to the electorate and if I was an resident in Fulford ward I would be feeling cheated, of course I understand it is sometimes hard to find someone who wants to work but surely we must be able to find someone who would have their name on the ballot paper?

The full results:

Stafford Borough Council - Fulford Ward

Conservative unopposed

Last fought May 2003 - (3 seats) Conservative 1019, 913, 828, Liberal Democrat 636, 618, 599, Labour 366

Conservative hold

Staffordshire County Council - Cheadle and Checkley Division

Conservative 791 votes

Independent 560 votes

Liberal Democrat (Phil Silk) 311 votes

Last fought May 2005 - Conservative 3462, Labour 2240, Liberal Democrat 1159

Conservative hold. Swing 2.3% Conservative to Liberal Democrat

Staffordshire Moorlands District Council - Cheadle West Ward

Conservative 354 votes

Ratepayers 239 votes

Last fought May 2003 - (3 seats) Ratepayers 702, Conservative 579, Independent 518, Independent 465, Conservative 414, Labour 370, Conservative 312

Conservative hold
