So near - and yet so far! In the Farnham Castle by-election, our candidate Jo Aylwin came within just 16 votes of the winning Farnham residents' candidate - a strong improvement on our previous result. In the process, the Conservative Party, which was previously strong in the ward, was but a poor third.
We congratulate Jo Aylwin on a stunning achievement, and the Farnham team on their hard work. We also thank the Godalming team for their assistance.
