Election Results 2011

Local 2011 elections yielded average voting for four Southampton ward candidates. However in the Borough of Test Valley two Green candidates were the only choice against the usual Conservative put ups. Owain Clarke and Lance Mitchell achieved a first for this council ward and the electorate gave them substantial support.

Congratulations to Chris Bluemel for keeping up our party profile in the Portswood ward of Southampton. As the below table shows, it is a hotly contested seat - every vote will have been a well earned one.
