Encouraging result in Cinderford West

UKIP contested an election in the Cinderford West ward of the Forest of Dean District Council in Gloucestershire for the first time yesterday.

The results are encouraging:

Lab	496
Con	236
UKIP	119
Lib Dem	89

The last few local election results show that UKIP is quite firmly cemented as the third party in English local politics.  We are the second party in EU politics in the UK and we have three peers.  What we lack is a breakthrough in the House of Commons but that will come at the next election.

Well done to Colin Guyton and the UKIP Forest of Dean branch for their hard work and encouraging result.
