Conservatives Win Romney Marsh Coast

Shepway Conservatives are celebrating winning the Ronmey Marsh Coast by-election. Conservative Shane Lawrence becomes the 37th Conservative Councillor to sit on Shepway District Council (http://www.romneymarshtimes.com/2009/11/conservatives-win-new-romney-coast-by.html).

The by-election was triggered when Sue Ashworth stepped down citing ill health. Councillor Ashworth first won the seat in May 2007 (www.folkestone-hythelibdems.org.uk/.../New%20Romney%20Coast/New+Romney+Coast+Focus+-+June+2007.pdf) as a Liberal Democrat but switched to the Conservatives shortly after this (http://www.folkestone-hythelibdems.org.uk/news/000676/statement_on_new_romney_coast_councillor_sue_ashworth.html).

Congratulations to Mr Lawrence, though visitors to the Folkestone and Hythe Conservative website might wonder what the Conservatives are hinting at with the title 'Bi-election Victory' (http://www.shepwayconservatives.org.uk/index.php?sectionid=3&pagenumber=439).
