UKIP were contesting the ward for the very first time, and unfortunately resources meant we were unable to start campaigning before the postal votes went out - which accounted for a full 39% of the votes cast!
This is a very good result for us at this time. And when we are in a position to deploy resources on a similar scale to the parties that beat us, there is little doubt we will passing them as we have the Liberal Democrats.
| Party | Votes | %age |
|---|---|---|
| Labour | 1596 | 56% |
| Conservative | 531 | 19% |
| Green | 456 | 16% |
| UKIP | 148 | 5% |
| Liberal Democrats | 59 | 2% |
| Trade Union Socialists | 55 | 2% |
Turnout: 26%
