I don't know why they didn't just make a single ward out of St Johns and High Broom. I know High Brooms is part of a separate parish (Southborough) but they didn't have any qualms about crossing those boundaries in multiple places in St Albans and these areas run into each other. Is it an attempt to preserve a 'safe' Labour ward?

Is it an attempt to preserve a 'safe' Labour ward? Particularly strange given that at the draft stage there was a uniform pattern of 13 3 member wards, with High Broom & St Johns combined. On the 2028 figures we now have that split into 2 wards, one with a -8% variance and the other with a +7% variance.

Are they still sticking with by-thirds elections then?

My assumption is that the various Independents for Tunbridge Wells are affiliated, but the Tunbridge Wells Alliance is separate. They're separate groups on the council. Tunbridge Wells Alliance are part of a ruling coalition with the Liberal Democrats and Labour. Independents for Tunbridge Wells are in opposition.

Where is @disgusted of Tunbridge Wells? I'm occupied, being temporarily less disgusted than usual. This is an awful interruption to my meticulous schedule of open disgust. I will ensure that normality resumes ASAP

Not exactly terrible for Labour either, winning councillors in 3 different wards. I've been to Rusthall & am surprised that it seems to have become a Labourish village

I've been to Rusthall & am surprised that it seems to have become a Labourish village There was an article in one of the papers a while back about how some of the Mid Kent villages have become a major target for DFLs. Rusthall rings a bell as being mentioned. The lack of Labour in Paddock Wood East (?) seems odd.
