The result of yesterday's by-election was:
George Owers, Labour, 900 (44%)
Andrew Bower, Conservative, 734 (36%)
Sarah Barnes, Lib Dem, 223 (11%)
Valerie Hopkins, Green Party, 137 (7%)
Albert Watts, UKIP, 53 (3%)
(or as seen from the city council's fancy new online election result reporting page).
Well done to George for winning the election and best wishes to the other candidates. I'm sure Cllr Owers will have his work cut out for him for a while - there's plenty that needs doing around the ward.
We will be back. The lack of a centre right voice on the city council is bad news for the city and Conservatives will keep working to regain representation.
Thank you to everyone who helped in this campaign, particularly my long-suffering agent, Tim Haire.
Special thanks to Chris Howell for all the work he did as a councillor and his support in my election campaigns. Chris was an excellent example of what a good Conservative councillor can achieve - he will be a hard act to follow for his successor on the council.
