Though our results in this area earlier this month were less than stellar......

I think Labour probably would have carried Fazeley in the 1997, 2001 and 2005 general elections: it's a bit like some of the more Tory divisions in Tamworth itself. It ought to be part of Tamworth borough council really since it has more in common with the town than Lichfield or the rural areas.

It is an area I know very well, it should be and is in all but the council, Tamworth. There is nothing to do with Lichfield there but I suspect the residents like to be associated more with Lichfield than Tamworth ....
This actually should be fertile UKIP territory so surprised no candidate for them have been put up.
I would be disappointed at this point in the cycle if we did not win it or come very close.

The fact that Labour managed to field just 1 candidate in 2011 in a 2007 split ward didn't seem to suggest the local party was in great shape....

Lichfield DC - Fazeley - Conservative hold Swing Conservative to Labour 6.7% on "top" basis and 1.1% on "average" basis since 2011 and 1% / 2% since 2007 Not sure the swing means much given the curious candidate line-up in 2011. If anything, the Conservative vote would have likely been inflated by those who preferred the Labour candidate but nonetheless chose to use their three votes. |
