And so we reach 1995 in my tour of Stockport’s local election results from 1974 onwards.

Colin Macalister won over 87% of the vote standing for Labour in Brinnington, my namesake Ian Roberts held his seat for the Conservatives in Cheadle (the Lib Dems had snatched one seat in 1994).

The East Bramhall election was notable: three of the candidates went on to be councillors (two still are, and neither of them won that year).  Ken Holt won the seat for the Conservatives and represented Bramhall until 2008.  Pam King came second for the Lib Dems and is now my senior colleague in Cheadle & Gatley.  Dave White came third for Labour – he’s now a councillor for Davenport and Cale Green.

Paul Bellis for the Conservatives came second that year and went onto win elsewhere, remaining a councillor today.
