Election Results from Wellingborough: BNP humiliated; Labour make small gains

The full election results for the Wellingborough Council elections can be found at the following web-site: http://tinyurl.com/6fvzt3k.

It is clear that the results represent a small advance for the Labour Party - moving from five Councillors to nine - however well short of the Conservatives, who still dominate the Council.

The biggest shock of the night though was the humiliation of the BNP whose percentage of the vote dropped dramatically from previous local elections and they came bottom of the poll in all three of the Wards where they stood. The full election results for the three Wards they stood in was as follows:

Brickhill Ward

Allebone Con 948 Elected

Ashton Lab 713

Coombe Lab 618

Hornett Green 385

Lawman Con 926 Elected

Simmons Con 783 Elected

Walker BNP 180 (3.95%)

Redwell East

Abram Lab 519

Harrington Con 964 Elected

Robinson BNP 146 (5.58%)

Warwick Con 988 Elected

Queensway Ward

Callnon Con 518

Dean Con 562

Henley Lab 644 Elected

Hornett Green 159

Robinson BNP 145 (3.95%)

Scarborough Lab 574 Elected

Walia Con 490

Watts Lab 575 Elected

Even the local BNP themselves acknowledge the scale of this humiliation with a classic of understatement: " it proved not to be a good day at the polls for the British National Party".
