Elections 2021: Conservatives hold Swindon Borough Council

7 May 2021

The Conservatives have retained control of Swindon Borough Council, with wins in former Labour strongholds.

Areas such as Penhill and Rodbourne Cheney - traditionally Labour seats - have turned from red to blue.

The Tories also took a seat in Wroughton and Wichelstowe, previously held by the Liberal Democrats.

A total of 20 seats were contested. The election means the council is made up of 36 Conservatives, 20 Labour members and an independent.

Anxiety in Labour as by-election set to go ahead

Gorton and Denton has been Labour for more than 90 years but party sources fear it could be won by Reform or the Greens.

The Manchester mayor had applied to stand as a candidate for the upcoming parliamentary by-election in Gorton and Denton.

People will not be able to pay in cash at the 20 car parks operated by Swindon Borough Council.

In a show of brute power, No 10 has scuppered Burnham’s attempted run from Manchester to Westminster.

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey says the bonds would give the public an opportunity to "support patriotically our defence".
