David Thompson got 334 votes (one less than last time). However I got 612 (compared with 180 last time). The turnout was 54% (compared with 37% last time) which is exceptional for a local election. So thank you everyone who voted. With such huge support I feel very excited about what we might be able to achieve for Flitton, Greenfield and Pulloxhill.
Polling Day
The day was cold and grey but the support I received from Green Party members was overwhelming. We had people acting as "tellers" at each of the polling stations and also "runners" going around reminding people to vote. Thank you to Ben, Mark, Malcolm, David, Sarah, Natalie, Jan, Justina, Paul and Marc. Thanks also to Simon, Alan, Martin, Phyllis, Nick, Roy, Nick, Janet, Mel, Megan and Catrin for all the work leading up to the day. Thanks to all those who put up posters. And above all a big thank you to my family for supporting me through all this, especially my wife Clare and John whose birthday was on the 3rd.
