Eastleigh Borough Council have just released the results of the Parish/Town Council elections that took place in some parts of the Borough earlier this week.
Two of these were routine elections, where all the seats on the Parish Council were contested.
The results for Allbrook & North Boyatt Parish Council are;
Allbrook and North Boyatt
Name of Candidate | Party | Votes |
|---|---|---|
BAIN, Sarah L | Liberal Democrat | 204 E |

The Liberal Demecrats have only 3 seats and finish as runners-up this time, behind the Independents who have a total of four seats. The one member of the Allbrook Action Group is in a very interesting postion and may have a lot more influence than they expected…!

BUDD, Geoff | Labour | 166 |
PADDICK, Kevin John | Liberal Democrat | 619 E |
The Liberal Democrats took both seats, which means there is no change on either of those Councils.
Hardly a ringing endorsement for the fib dems; hardly anyone bothered to vote! Wish Eastleigh people would wake up from their apathy and take notice of what this bunch of liars are doing to our borough and their lives, it’ll be standing room only soon with even more; gridlock, overcrowded schools, lengthier waits for gp appointments, pollution etc. So much for Eastleigh “tackling climate change” if anything the fib dems seem to be hell bent on ruining the environment for us and our children.
