After the late drama in yesterday afternoons count in Ramsbottom, the Labour Party are now in charge of affairs at Bury Council. As predicted, the Lib Dems got a bit of a kicking nationwide, and lost four seats, to add to four lost by the Tories. These 8 gains boosted the Labour seats to 26, which has created an overall majority. You can get more information from the following links;

Overall, this is a good result for our campaign to protect public services in Bury. The Labour Party has given its support to a number of key areas of concern that we raised prior to the election, and we have support in the group from councilors, members and supporters. Our next meeting will be next Tuesday, 10th May, at Bury Met, so please come along to discuss the next stages of the campaign
