New UKIP Councillor elected

UKIP's newest councillor is Kenny Davis who won a by election yesterday for a vacant seat on Northam Town Council.

Cllr Davis won with 37% of the vote followed by an Independent on 33% and the Tory candidate bringing up the rear on 29%.

Turnout for the election was 18.87% which is about right for a parish or town council by-election.

Well done Cllr Davis and well done voters of Northam for choosing the right candidate!
