Well people did have their say!

Chasetown ward residents overwhemingly elected Labour’s Paul Taylor to make it a Labour victory – and a stong voice at Lichfield District.

Result:

Paul Taylor, Labour Party, 318 votes and 73.2% of the vote share.

Norma Bacon, Conservative Party, 116 votes and 26.8% of the vote share.

That’s a 15% swing to Labour. So with the full district council elections in May next year, probably the same prime minister, high inflation and further cuts in local services I wouldn’t want to be a Conservative candidate in 2023.

And welcome to Lichfield District Council, Paul!

Today, you can have your say!

In the by-election for Chasetown Ward today, voters have a clear choice: Vote for Burntwood or vote Conservative. Below is an extract from the minutes at LDC where Labour proposed using money that included extra “windfall” monies for Burntwood and the rural areas – instead of just on Lichfield City Centre’s never ending multi-milion pound project known as Friarsgate.
