East Hampshire 2019. C 32 LD 7 Lab 2 Ind 2. New ward boundaries. Horndean Catherington was uncontested. Split wards in 2019 were: Whitehill Chase: C/LD That completes Hampshire 2019 on LEAP. I've never visited Alton, but from my mental image of the town (obviously based on my own prejudices), I'm astounded to see its representation has only one Conservative ward compared to two Labour and a majority Lib Dem.

Many of the similar sized towns in Hampshire have non-Conservative majority of councillors (Fleet, Eastleigh, Hedge End, Romsey, Yateley). Something that Alton further shares with Fleet and Yateley in particular is that in many ways, due to the road and rail links, it's similar to the larger Surrey towns of Woking & Guildford not far away. Plus, pre-coalition it was majority Alliance/Lib Dem representation from the '80s.

Does Alton have a history of Labour representation, or are these outliers of the sort of middle-class Labour vote found in Greater London and other southern cities?

The parts of Alton with Labour councillors are hardly middle-class! Eastbrooke ward in particular was in top 5% of wards for social housing at the last census, and has a relatively high proportion of residents with no qualifications working in routine or semi-routine occupations. I also seem to recall hearing on a thread at the time that the Labour councillors there were particularly effective campaigners.

The 2 councillors elected for Labour in Alton are now sitting as Independent Socialists, which if anything is even further from my image of Alton than Labour!

Even despite that I wouldn't expect Labour to have survived in Alton next year, like with Chichester, Guildford & Waverley where they'll probably be wiped out again (due to the '19 results being so scattergun whereas this time the Lib Dem targets will be much, much clearer). Out of the four councils, Guildford is the most likely to keep Labour representation, unless we again undernominate in Waverley.

Two updates today. Eastbourne 2019. LD 18 C 9. New ward boundaries. No split wards. Forest of Dean 2019. Ind 15 C 10 Grn 6 Lab 5 LD 2. New ward boundaries. Newark and Taynton was a postponed poll. Split wards in 2019 were: Cinderford West: Ind/Lab Coleford: 2Ind/1C Hartpury and Redmarley: Ind/C Lydney East: 2C/1Ind Mitcheldean, Ruardean and Drybrook: 2Ind/1Lab Newent and Taynton: 1Ind/2LD Newnham: Grn/C Tidenham: 1C/2Ind The LEAP consolidated results table has a tie at the top between the Green Party and independent candidates on 6,761 votes each, with the Conservatives very close behind on 6,720 votes. That completes East Sussex and Gloucestershire 2019 on LEAP.

To be brutally honest, probably not even a net positive one.

My point was rather that I'd not seen a tie at the top of that table before, but it's easy to be a critic. Folkestone and Hythe 2019. C 13 (-9) Grn 6 (+6) Lab 6 (+5) LD 2 (+2) UKIP 2 (-5) Ind 1 (+1). Changes based on 2015 (when the council was still called Shepway): C gain from UKIP Walland and Denge Marsh (1) Grn gain from C Hythe (3) Hythe Rural (2) Grn gain from UKIP Cheriton (1) Ind gain from UKIP New Romney (1) Lab gain from C Folkestone Central (1) Folkestone Harbour (1) Lab gain from UKIP East Folkestone (2) Folkestone Harbour (1) LD gain from C Sandgate and West Folkestone (2) UKIP gain from C Romney Marsh (1) Split wards in 2019 were: Cheriton: 2C/1Grn Folkestone Central: 1Lab/2C New Romney: Ind/C

Unusually the UKIP councillors elected then still sit as UKIP councillors. As such, Romney Marsh Rural District is the only pre-1973 district to have a majority of UKIP councillors
