Danbury By-Election: Labour slump to 5th place as Lib Dems on course for Parliamentary win
In a shock result to the Danbury, Little Baddow & Sandon by-election on 11 November, Conservatives won but with a 9.2% swing to the Liberal Democrats. David Whiteing pushed up the Lib Dem vote, while all the other main parties lost votes. This kind of swing in West Chelmsford could see Stephen Robinson elected the Lib Dem MP.
