Max Drury, Conservative Candidate in the Curzon & Westminster by-election was duly elected with a commanding majority. Max polled 875 votes, the Lib Dems 258 and Labour 238.
The other parties criticised the fact that a by-election was called, saying that the previous Councillor should have waited until next May, thus avoiding the cost of a by-election. That just goes to show their comtempt for democracy and their lack of concern for residents. The Conservatives believed that the priority was to ensure the residents of Curzon & Westminster were fully represented in the Council Chamber, by a Member whose heart and soul was in the job. This could only have been achieved by having a by-election, and so it was absolutely right to have called one.
Now that Max has been selected, the residents have a dedicated and enthusiastic Councillor, which is what local politics is about.
So well done Max, and I know you will do the residents of your Ward proud.

I was very pleased to hear the result, just an hour after the polls closed.
It just goes to show how much the opposition parties care about the individual person when they think the residents of the Curzon and Westminster Park ward should have been left with one councillor.
It was an excellent result in the end, and it was an honour for me to serve on the election team.
Let's hope this is a sign of things to come next May.
