Teignbridge council leader Martin Wrigley welcomed Lib Dem Jack Major’s win in the Ashburton and Buckfastleigh by-election to replace the late Cllr Huw Cox.
Martin said: “It’s great to see Jack win with a 192 majority and an increased vote share and I know that Jack will be a great councillor for the area. Huw would have been delighted to see Jack join the council.”
Jack’s win brings the Lib Dem group back up to 26 out of 47 councillors at Teignbridge, the Conservative vote share dropped by nearly 16%, the Green Party dropped by 12.5% and the SDA vote share dropped by nearly 6%.
