Yesterday (6th of May) I was elected to the High Peak Borough Council for Hadfield South Ward, I would like to thank everyone in the Ward for voting for me, Marie Foote the outgoing councillor, for all the hard work she did in the ward over the last 4 years, Everyone in the Glossopdale Labour Party Branch for there help and support through out the last 5 months with campaigning and the advice they have given me, Caitlin Bisknell for the support she has given me as leader of the Labour Group, my family who have supported me and finally my fellow Hadfield South Councillor Bob Mckeown he is the best leafletter I have ever seen!
The result was as follow
MCKEOWN, Bob The Labour Party Candidate 761 ELECTED
SIDDALL, Edward The Labour Party Candidate 725 ELECTED
FOOTE, Marie Melita Conservative Party Candidate 599
FOOTE, Stephen Dennis William Conservative Party Candidate 568
the results all over the High Peak were good for Labour we gained 12 seats taking the total Labour Councillors upto 21, 1 short of over all control> This is a great result and shows that Caitlin is doing a great job and we chose some fantasic people to be Councillors. The only down side is that Damien in Old Glossop, and Rob and Nick in Simmondley didn't get elected, but with the close results in these wards shows that with some work and good candidates we should be able to win these seats at the next Election.
