A tidal wave of protest vote, after 4 years of “in office but not in power”, stuck in a debt trap.
There will be by-elections soon enough, so Neil Speight could be back.

I’m disappointed to see Neil Speight lose out to Reform although he did receive a good number of the vote. He always questioned the council and held them to account
