The results are in and Reform UK Rugby - for the FIRST TIME EVER - now has a foothold on Rugby Borough Council, with 3 new Reform UK Councillors , KYLE STEWART in Newbold & Brownsover, JAMIE PULLIN in Coton & Broughton and Dr ANDREW GLOWAKI at Admirals & Cawston - Andrew claiming the previous Labour leader of Council Michael Moran’s old seat.

REFORM also came a very close second in the Lib Dem. and Conservative stronghold seats of Dunsmore and Revel & Binley woods. Tom Costello only 37 votes off winning in Dunsmore (polling just over 1000 votes )and Pat Ruck only 87 votes off winning Revel & Binley Woods (polling again almost 1,000 votes.).
A three way party battle at Bilton also saw Gareth Keeley & John Partridge only just eased out.
Across the board in Rugby from Benn to Wolston and the Lawfords, Wolvey to New Bilton , Hillmorton to Rokeby , our Reform Candidates made strong inroads even in staunch traditional Labour and Conservative territories.

Our new Councillors are ready to make their presence felt and start to make a difference for their local neighbourhoods and across Rugby Borough .

Finally a massive THANK YOU to all our supporters, volunteers and candidates who have campaigned hard across Rugby Borough the last few weeks , listening to your local views and concerns . The message was clear - our people want positive action and Commonsense politics with local needs and concerns put first.

It’s time now for Action not words. Good Luck this year to our new Councillors and we will be back next year even stronger and more determined to make Rugby Great Again and a place we are all proud to call home.

Family . Community. Country
