Michael Williamson re-elected

In the county council elections Michael Williamson has been re-elected as our county councillor, although with a reduced majority. The results were:

Michael Williamson (LDem) 52.28% 1,618
Peter Johnson (Con) 42.81% 1,325
Godson Lawal (Lab) 4.91% 152

The new council is pretty much exactly as before: 42 Conservatives and 23 Liberal Democrats. The only minor change is Labour have lost two and the Greens have gained one (and there’s one division to be decided later after one of the candidates died during the campaign).
