The Abbots Langley electorate has spoken, or voted in this case, with the Liberal Democrats dominating proceedings. May 3rd saw local elections take place throughout Three Rivers and the rest of the country, with Abbots Parish Council welcoming four new faces. Those four are; Leon Lay - who will represent the Leavesden Ward ,Chris Daily - who has been elected for the Tanners Wood Ward, David White - who will represent the Abbots Langley Ward, and John Wyatt - who will join David White on the Abbots Langley Ward. All the other local Lib Dems that were up for re-election including Keith Williams, Ivy Young, Jane Lay and Sara Bedford were comfortably re-elected. Each individual promoted a strong campaign, but it was sadly against very little opposition. This does not take away the fact that the electorate have spoken, signalling that all are worthy of their place on the council. The Lib Dems have proved to be very reactive and proactive in recent months, and certainly come across as having the community at heart. What is disappointing though is that in every ward except Abbots Langley, less than 40% of those eligible to vote did so. Do the local community not care about what happens in the village? Or were the elections not promoted properly? Either way, less than half of the community voted, and that is a low figure. Owen Roe, who was Vice Chair of the Parish last year, is this year expected to be promoted to the position of Chairman. It was also a good day for the Lib Dems on the District Council. Matthew Bedford should be especially pleased, after dominating the Abbots Langley Ward, winning by well over 600 votes. Leavesden, Langleybury and Bedmond & Primrose Hill will all have Liberal Democrat representatives, after all three wards were won comfortably.

My Abbots would like to congratulate the new faces on the council, and also say well done to those re-elected.
