UKIP wins Congleton by-election

UKIP's Louise van de Bours last night comfortably won a Congleton by-election.

The results of the election were:

PartyVote
UKIP769
Con587
Ind263
Ind125

Cllr van de Bours contested a by-election in Congleton last year and came third, just 90 votes behind the winning Tory and 9 behind the second placed Labour candidate.  Perseverance and hard work has clearly paid off.
