By-election result means Liberal Democrats retain strength on Council committees
October 21, 2011 9:55 AM
Stella Brooks - new Councillor for Bookham South
The result of the Bookham South by-election - won by Liberal Democrat Stella Brooks on 20th October - has important implications for the make-up of the committees where much of the Council's business is carried out. If the Conservatives had won the by-election, they would have become the largest party on Mole Valley District Council and the change would have led to a re-distribution of positions on these committees. By retaining their position as the largest party the Liberal Democrats are entitled to keep their strong representation on all these committees.
The result also demonstrates a strengthening of support for the Liberal Democrats since the elections in May when the Conservatives won in Bookham South by 60 votes. Residents clearly recognise the Liberal Democrats as the party which listens to what their local communities are saying.
