A shout out to Lib Dem blogger John Abrams who was elected in Cale Green this year. You’ll see below that I’ve also got the results for Tameside borough for this year. Not sure why – they just turned up in the file the Council sent me, so they get published. Enjoy. 01/05/03 2003 Stockport […]

The Lib Dems took control of Stockport Council again in 2002, and have held it since. Pam King won in Cheadle, defeating Ian Roberts (not me, but my Conservative namesake who’s currently the chair of governors at Kingsway school). Patsy Calton, by now MP for Cheadle, stood in her Bramhall council seat but came second. […]

A new millennium and some interesting results in Stockport. A turnout of just 16.7% in Brinnington, Brian Millard (who went on to lead the council) won in Cheadle for the Lib Dems, Pam King (now a councillor in Cheadle & Gatley) missed out in East Bramhall by just 20 votes and Mark Hunter, now MP […]

Well into the Blair era and the results in Stockport are taking on a feel that won’t change a great deal in the following decade. 1999 was the year the Lib Dems first gained overall control of Stockport Council. It was under no overall control to 1975, then Conservative run to 1983, then no overall […]

We’ve reached 1998 in my review of Stockport’s local election results from 1974 onwards. The Lib Dems took a second seat in Cheadle ward and the Conservatives won back Bramhall East, beating Brian Millard. Current councillors Shan Alexander and Margaret McLay won in 1998. Sue Derbyshire, who currently holds the finance portfolio on Stockport’s Executive, […]

Up to 1996 in my review of Stockport’s local election results from 1974 onwards, and a fourth future MP arrives on the scene as Mark Hunter is elected in North Marple. Andrew Stunell, Anne Coffey and Patsy Calton all spent time as Stockport councillors before taking their places in Westminster too. Another good year for […]

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 […]

The latest in my reports of Stockport’s elections from 1974 onwards, 1994 was an important year for the Lib Dems and (although I wasn’t on the scene) for me too, with hindsight. The Lib Dems won Cheadle ward for the first time, as well as taking Bramhall East and West. In the process, Patsy Calton […]

The latest in my reports of Stockport’s local elections from 1974 onwards. 1991 looks like the year nothing much changed. The only exception I’ve spotted is John Ashworth regaining his council seat in Edgeley, having been edged out in 1990. My namesake Ian Roberts was re-elected for Cheadle, John Pantall was safely returned in Cheadle […]
