Congratulations to Jane Livermore, our brilliant candidate, on her third place in the by-elections in Thatcham West – an excellent result in a ward we have never contested before.
The Conservatives lost both seats to the Liberal Democrats as voters delivered their verdict on the arrogance and complacency of local Tories.
We look forward to full elections in the whole of West Berkshire on 2 May 2019.
Full result – Thatcham Town Council seat
