By-election winner Hazel Manning
Hampshire Liberal Democrats are celebrating another by-election win after gaining a seat in Farnborough.
Residents of Grange Ward (Rushmoor Borough Council) went to the polls on Tuesday. The Tories have won every election in the ward since 2000 but Lib Dem candidate Hazel Manning won the by-election with a majority of 70 votes.
Labour finished fourth and the BNP saw their vote fall back as the Lib Dems campaigned strongly on local issues.
The Result:
Lib Dem Hazel Manning 515 43.2% (up from 24.5%)
Tory 445 37.3 (down from 44.9%)
BNP 137 11.5 (down from 16.9)
Labour 94 8.1 (down from 13.8)
