This result means that in three years the Greens have taken every seat in Tong from Labour. A huge turnaround.

Anyone who thinks their vote won't count - Labour has retained their Tong seat by just ONE vote! Kausar Mukhtar from Labour got 743 while the Green Party candidate Matt Edwards got 742 votes. There were four re-counts before the victor was named.

Just writing a story about school rolls. Last time I did this I received a torrent of abuse on Facebook telling me I needed to go back to school from people telling me it should be "school roles," not school rolls. Wonder if I'll have the same response today?

This is likely to be the last election count held at Richard Dunn Sports Centre. The centre will close once the new Sedbergh Sports Centre opens in September.
Richard Dunn has certainly provided a colourful backdrop to democracy over the years!
