Conservative Party Wins Tamworth and Increases Vote
Tamworth’s Conservatives celebrate victory in Thursday’s local election
Last Thursday’s Tamworth Borough Council election saw the Conservative Party outpoll all of the other Party’s and increase their vote across Tamworth from 12 months ago.
7,874 of Tamworth’s residents voted Conservative on Thursday across the borough, compared with 7,437 who voted Labour. Thursday’s election also saw the Conservative Party vote increase 2,252 from twelve months ago, whereas Labour’s vote only went up 1,354.
Although, the 2014 election was for Tamworth Borough Council and last year’s election was for Staffordshire County Council, the majority of those residents that voted last week would also have had the chance to vote in the 2013 elections in Tamworth.
