Towcester By-Elections

By-elections for the District Council and County Council took place in Towcester last week following the sad death of Councillor Di Dallyn and the resignation of Councillor Rosemary Bromwich.

I would like to congratulate Councillor Chris Lofts who took the seat on the County Councillor and Councillor Lisa Samiotis who gained the Town Councillor seat, both for the Liberal Democrats. I look forward to working with them for the benefit of the town.

I think both Councillor Ian McCord and John Gasking, the Conservative candidates deserve congratulating for a well fought and positive campaign. Ian is a well respected Yardley Gobion District Councillor and I know he would have been a strong voice for Towcester on the Council. John Gasking has also been a strong voice for Towcester and I wish him a speedy recovery from his recent illness.

Finally, congratulations to all those that turned out to vote in the by-election on a bitterly cold and snowy February Thursday! The 29% turnout was not bad considering the weather...
