These Councillors have already been ‘duly elected’ by the Returning Officer, without a contest.

After the count this morning it was revealed that BOTH the councillors for the new, expanded “Leake & Ruddington” Electoral Division were the Conservative party candidates – between them securing 57.05% of the vote.
