Polling day on Thursday was a remarkable, fascinating and humbling experience. It was remarkable due to the scale of the victory; the team and I worked extremely hard over the previous 6 weeks and the result thankfully reflected that. We honestly thought it would be very close, perhaps in the single figures and I was blown away when the result was announced. The result was as follows:
Mike Hill Conservative - 541
Valerie Whitaker - Labour & Co-op - 322
Majority - 219
Turnout - 52.13%
The whole experience for me so far has been fascinating, though polling day was certainly the pinnacle so far. I found the whole mechanism of the election to be an extremely interesting and inspiring experience, one that I would certainly like to experience agan.
Watching the count was a humbling experience as seeing hundreds of voting slips with a big X by your name demonstrated that a lot of people have faith in me to work hard and deliver for our wonderful village.
Delivering on promises made is the cornerstone of everything that I do, from my professional, sporting and personal lives. I have made the commitment to King's Sutton that I will represent them to the best of my ability and that I will deliver against the promise that I made.
The hard work starts now!
