Vote counting at Chorley Town Hall Pic: Chorley Council Labour have tightened their grip on Chorley Council after winning all but one of the seats up for gr
Labour have tightened their grip on Chorley Council after winning all but one of the seats up for grabs at this year’s local elections – and deposing the Tory opposition group leader in the process.Of the 14 seats being contested, the ruling party held all 11 that it was defending from the last time this particular set was fought in 2021 – and gained two others. The Conservatives kept hold of just one seat on the night.
It was a slightly closer contest in the seat where the other Tory scalp was claimed – Aidy Riggott, who, like his former group leader is also a Lancashire county councillor in Chorley, lost out by just over 100 votes to Labour candidate Russell Green in the Buckshaw and Whittle ward. He is now entering this 13th year in charge at Chorley Council after first leading his party to victory in the borough back in 2012, following a year of it being in no overall control with the Tories as the largest group. The Conservatives had previously enjoyed a majority.
The Green Party – which contested all of the seats up for election this year – secured second place in one of them, Chorley South West, where Olga Cash scooped 562 votes, by far the party’s best performance this year.
