Huge wins for Greens in Worcester
We are the second largest party on the city council.
With all the votes counted, the Greens won five of the 11 seats, Labour won 4, and the Liberal Democrats won 2.
This means the political balance at the City Council is now:
- Labour – 13 seats (+1)
- Greens – 10 seats (+4)
- Conservatives – 8 seats (-7)
- Liberal Democrats – 4 seats (+2)
Worcester’s Greens picked up four new councillors on the way to becoming the city council’s second-biggest party, including a huge win that sensationally dumped the current city council leader from his seat.
Tor Pingree’s win against Tory leader Chris Mitchell in the St Clement ward was one of four for the Green Party – swiping three councillors from the Conservatives and one from Labour in another impressive performance in the local elections.
