Thames Ditton ward and Hinchley Wood & Weston Green ward councillors both strongly retained their seats in Thursday's borough council elections.  

For Thames Ditton, Cllr Karen Randolph polled 67.1% of the votes against three other candidates (Lib. Dem., Conservative & Labour).

In Hinchley Wood & Weston Green ward, Cllr Janet Turner polled 73.4% of the votes against two other candidates (Lib. Dem. & Conservative).  Our congratulations to them on their great success.

Overall in Elmbridge, the Residents' Association Group gained two seats (Esher & Weybridge St Georges Hill).  This is a very good result, especially considering only 16 seats (one third of the total) were up for election.  The Liberal Democrats gained one (Weybridge Riverside), so the seat distribution for Elmbridge Borough Council will now be :-

     Conservatives   21

     RA Group         17

     Lib. Dems.        10
