Richard Stevens - newly elected Borough Councillor for the Stonefield and Christchurch ward
Liberal Democrats gained a seat from the Conservatives yesterday when Richard Stevens was elected to Stafford Borough Council in the Stonefield and Christchurch ward. "This was a fantastic result for us. Stone has never elected a Liberal Democrat to the Borough before. I am so grateful to everyone who helped in my campaign," said Richard.
Today's count was dramatic. "It was obviously a tight contest," explained Richard. "When the preliminary figures were conveyed to the candidates the Tories demanded a recount. However the recount produced the same figures and we knew we had made history in Stone"
The full result:
Abbot (Lab) 296
Agar (Lab) 262
Brookes (Ind) 427
Etchells (Con) 554
Farnham (Con) 802 Elected
STEVENS (LD) 567 Elected
