Congratulations to Cnllr Sue Wooley (Conservative) on winning the by-election. Our campaign team, although disappointed with the turn out, were pleased that the LibDem vote had caught up with Labour in Bourne Abbey and feel confident that in 2009 the Liberal Democrats will be the main opposition to the Conservatives.
