The by-election was triggered by a vacancy in the North Ward. Reform UK’s victory continues their strong momentum in local contests across Cheshire, building on recent performances in the region.
Chloe Myatt, the Green Party candidate, ran a visible campaign focusing on local issues such as cost of living, cleaner streets, and support for families, but ultimately finished in fifth place.
This result will be seen as another encouraging sign for Reform UK ahead of future local and national contests.
