The election followed the decision of sitting Cllr and former Deputy Leader Janet Henshaw to resign for personal and family reasons.
It was an even closer contest in the Helsby and Runcorn parliamentary by-election where Reform triumphed over Labour by just SIX votes!

Wow! Who put 10p in Mr Bebbington!
Looks to have been a good race among the top three. Let’s hope that the council carries on doing good work in our community.
What good work ? Making the residents of the town in debt
