I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who lives in Arrowe Park, Overchurch, Upton & Woodchurch for giving me the honour of representing you on Wirral Borough Council as Councillor for Upton Ward. As your Councillor I will do my best for all residents of Upton ward regardless of which political party you support.

Though of course it is desperately sad for millions of hard working families that Labour is no longer in Government, but Labour did deny Cameron’s Tories the parliamentary majority he believed he had in his back pocket.

Labour did well in Merseyside as a whole, holding all our parliamentary seats on the Wirral (Wirral West was notionally a Tory seat anyway due to boundary changes so it wasn’t a Tory win)

In the local elections Labour did even better winning Bromborough, Liscard, New Brighton and Prenton wards giving Labour the largest share of the popular vote by some margin.
