I think the Lib Dem candidate in Hazlemere (Mark Titterington) was a Conservative councillor for Holmer Green on the old Chiltern council for its final term.

[Terry Weldon]

ALDC have the percentages and change for Calne

This ward isn't terribly swingy, it seems.

[batman]

It's rather counter-intuitive that Labour won it in 2021, it normally looks like a ward the party will only win in a good year
