Lib Dems make big gains in Blackburn & Darwen
June 12, 2004 8:35 AM
Blackburn and Darwen Liberal Democrats mad big gains in the local council elections on June 10. They went into the election with 8 seats and made for net gains to end with 12.
The Party also showed a big increase in its vote overall and came very close to gaining in extra seats.
The Liberal Democrat gains were:
Audley - Zamir Khan
Corporation Park - Abdul Rehman
Higher Croft - Fred Gollop
Little Harwood - Salim Sidat
Sudell - Roy Davies
In addition the independent candidate in Queen's Park Ward, Yusuf Sidat, decided to join the Liberal Democrats.
Unfortunately the Party lost 2 seats, one in Shear Brow and one in Shadsworth.
Zamir Khan's win in Audley was notable because he unseated the Labour Leader of the Council, Sir Bill Taylor.
