It was a bad day for the Buckingham Constituency Tories overall who lost three seats in total with Waddesdon falling to Llew’s Lib Dem colleaugue David Vick and one of the Buckingham South seats falling to Labour candidate Robin Stutchbury.
Commenting on the result Llew said, ” Obviously I’m delighted with my result, though sad that Trish didn’t take the second seat. Although the results are not declared separately it was clear that we were both well ahead in Winslow but the Conservatives polled higher in Padbury and Adstock which allowed them to take the second seat. I want to thank all those who supported me and will now get on with the job of representing Winslow Ward at AVDC and ensuring that our voice is heard in Aylesbury.”
