Northumberland Council, a summary of the results in the Blyth Valley are
The 1st May election for the new unitary council for Northumberland gave the Liberal Democrats a great result and (probably) minority administration of the council.
Overall we took 26 seats, 8 of which are in the Blyth Valley area. From a start of 2 seats in Blyth Valley that is an increase of 6.
The Lib Dem councillors elected are :-
Lesley Rickerby held South Blyth (of which South Newsham ward is part) and Tom Brechany held Cramlington South East.
The gains were Barrie Crowther (Cramlington Eastfield) Alan Armstrong (Cramlington Village) Anital Romer (Hartley) Bobby Nixon (Holywell) Jeff Reid (Plessey) and Ian Tompkins (Wensleydale)
Congratulations to all of them.
