County Council Elections: Thank you!
Lancashire: Liberal Democrats gained in Burnley, St Annes and Preston. We had four seats before the elections - we have more than doubled that to ten now.
North West Liberal Democrat Regional Chair Councillor Sue McGuire said, "The Liberal Democrats will be significant players on the new Lancashire
County Council having gained from Labour and the Tories at these
elections. We have established our County presence on the Fylde with our St Annes win
against the Tories.
"Our major breakthroughs in Burnley and Preston North West County Council
seats, with a collapsing Labour vote, provide a strong base for our
challenge to Labour in both the Burnley and Preston Parliamentary seats at
the next General Election."
Cumbria: Liberal Democrats have gained a seat in Carlisle and one in Kirkby Stephen in Eden. We have also gained four seats in the South Lakeland area - Lakes, Kendal South, Cartmel and Kendal Strickland & Fell.
