Tories take big scalp but Labour vote holds up in face of ‘Boris bounce’

The Tories took the scalp of Labour Cabinet member Graham Turner in Denby Dale with Tim Bamford (pictured left) coming home with a 482-majority.

Earlier Tory Adam Gregg defeated Lib Dem councillor Richard Eastwood in Lindley as the Conservatives made a couple of gains but the Labour vote generally held up against what triumphant Tory Bernard McGuin described as the “Boris bounce” – a feelgood factor caused by the successful roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine.
