Lib Dems win another Shropshire by-election with a huge swing

This evening the Liberal Democrats have gained the Worfield division of Shropshire Council from the Conservatives with a 33 per cent swing.

The result: Lib Dems 400, Conservative 392, Labour 40.

Congratulations to Andrew Sherrington and his team on a great victory.

Worfield is part of the Ludlow constituency - to be renamed South Shropshire in time for the next general election. And traditionally it's about the most Conservative part of that constituency.
