By-Election Shows Tories Sliding Further
Tue 15th Apr 2008
A massive effort by the Conservatives to regain Thatcham North in last Thursday's Thatcham Town Council by-election came to nothing as the Liberal Democrats more than doubled their majority from 98 to 240. The seat had been lost by the Conservatives to their Liberal Democrat opponents in another by-election on January 10th. But the result of this by-election (which was called by the Conservatives) exactly three months later was an even bigger win for Liberal Democrat, Glyn Slater, by 831 votes to 591. As usual there was no Labour candidate.
