Only 37 votes separated Liberal Democrat Chris Howes from the winning Conservative candidate in the by-election for Chatteris Mills ward yesterday. Chris fought a stunning campaign, and I hope he returns to the fray next May to provide some much-needed opposition on Fenland District Council.
However, Liberal Democrat Diane Baldry was returned - in both senses, as she's been elected before - to Chatteris Town Council, where I'm sure she'll make an excellent representative for local people.
The Labour showing - trailing fourth behind UKIP with only 33 votes out of over 650 - was pretty poor for a party apparently serious about challenging the Conservatives for the parliamentary seat of North East Cambridgeshire.
