Local MP, Justin Tomlinson, has welcomed the return of a strong team of Conservative councillors across North Swindon following last week's local elections.
Conservatives councillors not only held every seat they were defending in North Swindon, they held them with increased majorities, while candidates received excellent support across other wards thanks to the positive campaign.
From Stratton to St. Andrews; Lechlade to Liden, this team Conservative councillors will be a hardworking, effective voice for local residents; delivering for the communities they live in & represent, ensuring the highest quality local services are delivered while guaranteeing a fair and affordable council tax.
Justin Tomlinson MP said: "After months of hard work, last week saw the Swindon Borough Council elections. Without the help and support of my team we would not have had such an enthusiastic campaign and I am incredibly grateful for the support of local residents, who again put their faith in our local team of Conservative Councillors. In North Swindon the Conservatives saw local Councillors re-elected with increasing majorities as well as new Councillors elected in their local communities. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all of the new Councillors elected this time. Whichever party they belong to, I wish them the best of luck with the exciting and rewarding opportunity they have been given to represent their area.
