Conservatives HOLD Fylde Council by 1 Seat; Defeat for the Deputy Leader of Fylde Council and Full Lytham St Anne’s Results

The Conservative Party have retained control of Fylde Council with a majority of 1. The Conservatives reached the 19 councillors required for a majority with the penultimate declaration of Warton. The majority of incumbent candidates successfully defended their position despite the major restructuring and reduction in size of Fylde Council. Those who unfortunately failed to retain their seat include: Will Harris (CON), David O’Rourke (CON), Bobby Rigby (CON), Brenda Blackshaw (IND), Brian Gill (IND) and Deputy Leader of Fylde Council – Cllr Roger Small (CON).

The Liberal Democrats have doubled their representation on Fylde Council with two councillors elected in Kilnhouse (which also saw the defeat for the Deputy Leader of the Council). The Labour Party will be represented in the Fylde Council for the first time since 2015 with success in Ashton and Medlar-with-Wesham.

The closest result came in Ashton with Cllr Ed Nash beating Karen Harrison (CON) by just two votes. If just one Ed Nash voter had switched to Karen Harrison then the result would have gone to a tiebreaker. Beverley Harrison from the Liberal Democrats finished just three votes behind as well.
