We’ve spoken to the council’s only Independent Jim Hakewill who visited every polling station in his ward yesterday

I feel elated and I’d like to thank all the people who helped and voted for me.

I’m delighted to be able to continue to represent Rothwell and Mawsley.

I think my success is because I really do my best to engage with residents and fight for things that they want in our area.”
