On 4th May 2023 the Conservative party lost an election in Spelthorne for the first time in history and the biggest winners were the Liberal Democrats.
There are now TEN Liberal Democrat Councillors in Spelthorne, elected in Staines, Laleham and Sunbury, who in co-operation with other progressive parties and independents have taken control of the council from the Tories.
The independents have 7 seats, the Labour Party 7 and the Greens 2. (The Conservatives have 12 councillors)
The existing group of Spelthorne Liberal Democrat councillors have represented areas in Sunbury, Halliford and Staines for the last four years. Being a councillor is both an honour and a responsibility and all the Lib Dem councillors have taken their work very seriously.
