Post 182: well you can stay amazed since I didn't know that - I thought the two areas were just chopped up into bits. Anyway, the sun came out so I went and did the responsible thing; in deference to post 175 I positively spoiled both papers.

No tellers at mine either. The problem with County is that few people know who their Councillors are unlike at District. Town level gets a lot of headlines due to the idiosyncracies of the members even though they are responsible for very little. Maidstone is very remote and frankly unaccountable and as it is basically a one party state of little interest to the public.

Beginning of the end for River Sue now it has been sucked into Dover Town, bad habits will be picked up at will and believe me we have some pretty disgusting ones around here.

Early results show the Tories winning back seats lost to UKIP last time and also gaining some from Labour.

A few hours to wait.I think the KCC elections got overshadowed. By the General election.Clever move by the Conservatives.Fingers crossed for the persons I voted for.

I was with Steven Manion yesterday, good bloke, hope he gets re-elected.
He was talking to non supporters in a very measured way, good to see.

Unfortunately KCC elections are of such little consequence to most people that they can be overshadowed by a traffic jam on the M20, we only had one flyer through the door and all it did was tell us how poor the other party were and how we are great but full of lies and half truths, two spoilt ballot papers here sadly.

Labour will be seriously disappointed with that result in what should be a safe ward. The Tory candidate did not even canvass but came within 7 votes.

Apparently Pauline Beresford and Nigel Collor have ousted Gordon Cowan and Pam Brivio at KCC Dover Town.

Ann Napier won in Maxton, Elms Vale and Priory for Labour in DDC by-election and it looks as if the Tories will take Labour seats in Deal at KCC.
