Voters turn out in force to elect their new Waddington councillor


VOTERS in the parish of Waddington bucked national trends by turning out in larger- than-expected numbers for a by- election. . .


O ’ -... More than 400 people in the villages


of Waddington, Bashall Eaves and M itton voted for the man they most wanted to replace Goun. Harry Back- '


.house, whose su rp r is e re s ig n a t io n shocked councillors in August. In the two-horse race between Conser­


vatives and Liberal Democrats, retired businessman Mr Roger Chaplin, of Waddington, held the seat to retain the Conservatives' power on Ribble Valley Borough Council. But it was a close-run thing, with Mr


Chaplin winning office by 26 votes from former adviser to Paddy Ashdown, Mr


William le Breton, of Rimington, the Liberal Democrat candidate. Mr le Breton was delighted at: having


brought about a 25% swing-to Liberal j Democrats. . '


The new councillor blamed disenchant- ......t(,j . !


ment.with the main national parties for the drop in Conservative support. . Mr Chaplin, seen in our picture with


Ribble Valley MP Mr Nigel Evans, said: "lam very pleased with the result. I t was fairly close; i t is better to beat a good opponent than a bad opponent." He said that, as a councillor, he would


campaign on the closure of county coun­ cil homes, policing in rural areas and against the proposals for a regional assem­ bly, which would mean a loss of local democracy.
