We need to get more young people engaged in politics.
We’ve been working outside trying to save Weekley Hall Wood and now we have got people on the council who can really act to help save it.
The council make-up before has not always been representative of the people of Northamptonshire so we’re really pleased to have won three seats.
We’re at the half way stage at the count here at Kettering Conference Centre.
The Conservatives have 26 seats
Labour have 7
Green have 3
None yet for the Independents or Lib Dems
