Lib Dems increase vote in Gloucester
Parliamentary candidate Dr Rebecca Trimnell almost doubled the Lib Dem vote in the General Election on December 12. Rebecca polled 4,338 votes - a 3% rise on Councillor Jeremy Hilton's result two years ago. Conservative MP Richard Graham increased his majority to over 10,000. Labour's vote in the city collapsed - dropping 5% in just two years - and the Green Party candidate lost their deposit. It is the Lib Dems best result in Gloucester since 2010 and gives a good foundation for next year's local elections. The result in full: Richard Graham (Con) 29,159 54% +3.9% Fran Boait (Lab) 18,882 35% −5% Rebecca Trimnell (Lib Dem) 4,338 8% +3% Michael Byfield (Green) 1,385 2.6% +1% Rebecca said: "It was an amazing experience standing as the Lib Dem candidate for Gloucester. "Very well done to Richard Graham and commiserations to Fran Boait."
