Winning in Whittington

Yesterday saw three by-elections in Shropshire, two County Council by-elections and one District Council by-election. The Liberal Democrats won one of the County by-elections from the Independents, the Conservatives held the other County by-election and gained the District Council by-election again from the Independents.

The Liberal Democrats were ruthless about targeting the Whittington County by-election putting virtually all of their resources into that campaign. It paid off.

The full results:

Trevor Davies - Liberal Democrat - 680 votes - 54.9%
