An interesting read. Thank you. I think voter turnout, while maybe around what was expected, must be on the list of priorities for the new council. High visibility, honesty and change where it matters will all be factors in helping to retain, and increase seats next time.
This is a very good evaluation of the result. I agree that the results show that if Labour continues to be popular locally and nationally we could see a Labour councillor from Rainham in 2027. Either way this should be a big warning to Chishti, who relied heavily on Rainham voters.
