This is a realy good result -holding a seat and managing to build up and retain support in a ward -especially in some cities where the wards are massive -14,000I think in Birmingham, is a real achievement. Here in Lewisham, the Socialist Party have struggled to hold Telegraph ward and expand to win all x3 cllrs. in the ward.
