Swindon Conservatives increased their majority from 1 to 3 on Swindon Borough Council after gaining the Covingham & Dorcan seat from Labour.
In North Swindon, in addition to the gain in Covingham & Dorcan, we secured record results in the St. Andrews and Priory Vale wards, as well as doubling our majority in Blunsdon & Highworth. Labour also targeted Stratton St. Margaret & South Marston ward, where we significantly increased our majority.
Justin Tomlinson MP, "I am so proud of the North Swindon campaign team, not only gaining a seat from Labour but securing record wins over Labour in a number of seats, despite their aggressive, nasty and negative campaigns. It is only the Conservatives who are delivering frozen Council Tax, town centre regeneration and an improving local economy and I am delighted that fellow local residents responded so well to our positive campaign."
