Conservatives take seat off Labour in Basingstoke
22 Dec 2006
The Conservatives won a seat on Basingstoke and Deane Council off the Labour party in a by-election last night. In a 22.2% turnout the result was Conservatives 332 Labour 210 LibDem 123 Green 40
"Given the precarious position on the council where, before the by-election, the Conservatives had the same number of seats as all the other parties combined, this is an important result."
