Result:
Laura Knightly Conservative 143 (25%),(Elected)
Michael David Smith Independent 116 (20%)
David Keneth Johnson Independent (Johnson) (18%),
Beverky Ann Pickard Jones Labour 98 (17%),
Barry Douglas Griffiths Independent 69 (12%),
Geofreey Davis Correy Independent 43 (8%)
Conservative HOLD with a majority of 27 (5%)
Total Independent vote: 332 (58%)
The seat was uncontested in 2012 when William John Charles Knightly Con was elected.
If ever there was an a argument for STV then a election where the winning candidate won with 25% of the vote is a powerful one
The result makes no change in the political makeup of the Council with no Party or Independent Grouping able to gain a majority election after election.
- Independent 19
- Conservative 13
- Plaid Cymru 12
- Labour 10
- Liberal Democrats 4
- Vacant seats 1
So no earthquake here no Plaid candidate and surprisingly no Ukip candidarte in a seat where the demographics may have ben ideal for them
