Unitary Council Elections
Commiserations and Congratulations
Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who came out and helped our team of brilliant candidates in the run-up to polling day.
The campaign in Somerton & Frome faced some additional external challenges but despite the
disappointment of losing in many divisions, the swing against us was only marginally greater than
across the wider Somerset area.
Commiserations to candidates who were not elected, many in very tight races – Gemma Verdon
losing in Martock by just 14 votes was one of the closest!
Congratulations to terrific double wins for Philip Ham and Barry Clarke in Mendip Central and East,
and to Lucy Trimnell and Tom Power in Wincanton & Bruton. Congratulations also to Dawn Denton in Frome North standing in her first election and to long-serving councillor Mike Lewis who was elected for Castle Cary.
