A real vote of confidence in the face of strong campaigning in the ward from a resurgent Labour Party who have swept to overall control in York - including in the process removing the Leader and former Lib Dem leader from their council seats. Unfortunately the growth of the Labour vote meant we failed to gain any further seats in York, coming close again in Micklegate. However nationally the big news for the Greens was taking control of Brighton and Hove council with 23 councillors - Britains first major authority Green council. We have also become the largest party in Norwich. Although we no longer have a no overall control situation and the Conservatives have pushed Lib Dems into third place, there is now also an Independent, and a former Green who stood for Labour on a '20s plenty' campaign mission! Could be interesting....
