… and for the Meadows, Oakington, Orchard Park, Rampton and Westwick.

It was a humbling result in Cottenham, Histon and Impington this week. After a long and exhausting campaign the Lib Dems won both county council seats. David Jenkins retained his coming top of the poll and Sue Gymer was elected just ahead of the two Tory candidates.  The margin between 2nd and 3rd was slim enough to justify a recount.

The full results are:

Matthew Bradney (Con) 2,168
Jenny Butler (Green) 698
Simon Edwards (Con) 2,074
Susan Gymer (LD) 2,202
David Jenkins (LD) 2,419
Val Ross (Lab) 363
Niamh Sweeney (Lab) 281

County Councillor David Jenkins said: ‘I am flattered to be re-elected. Having been a councillor for 4 years I have learnt the job and intend to be a better one going forward.’

‘I am also excited to be working with Sue Gymer so that we can give an even better service to the people of Cottenham, Histon and Impington.’
