Conservative’s Keep Control of Tamworth Borough Council
The 2012 Tamworth Borough Council election proved to be both a disappointing and successful day for the Conservative Party.
The Party went in defending nine of the ten seats (Amington, Belgrave, Castle, Glascote, Mercian, Spital, Stonydelph, Trinity and Wilnecote); unfortunately results did not go as planned and only four seats remained Conservative (Amington, Mercian, Spital, and Trinity).
The feedback from the various canvass and delivery sessions had looked to be very positive and there was no criticism at all of the Conservative run Tamworth Borough Council. Cllr Evelyn Rowe held her seat in Amington, Cllr Danny Cook won Trinity, Cllr Robert Pritchard won Spital and first time Conservative Party candidate Richard Kingstone won Mercian.
Despite losing 5 seats on the night, the Conservative Party had the last laugh. When the last result was declared by the returning officer, the Conservative Party retained control of the Borough Council with a majority of six councillors.k
