Congratulations to Labour’s Mick Gilgunn for his victory in the July 1 Tollington ward by-election, but thanks also to the many residents whose votes took the Green Party to a strong second place behind him. Jonathan Ward, our candidate, only had a few weeks to win hearts and minds after Richard Watts’s sudden announcement that […]
