THE Conservatives cleaned up at the first Bucks Council unitary elections in the Wycombe area, which also saw the Independents making ground and Labour suffering.

The Tories secured majorities in eleven out of 16 wards in Wycombe during the local elections, winning a total of 33 seats overall.

Cllr Tony Green thanked residents for “keeping their faith” in him when he bagged Terriers and Amersham Hill, alongside fellow Tories Arif Hussain and Sarfaraz Raja.

While in Marlow, Tory winner Cllr Alex Collingwood saw a 45 per cent turnout and 2,000 postal votes – the biggest in his area – alongside colleagues Carol Heap and Neil Marshall.

The Independents also ran a strong campaign, securing 12 seats overall and majorities in four wards including Ryemead and Micklefield, The Wooburns, Bourne End and Hedsor, Totteridge and Bowerdean, and West Wycombe.

Independent Cllr Darren Hayday said he was “very honoured” to have been elected alongside his wife Orsolya Hayday in West Wycombe ward.

Julia Wassell also delivered a hammer blow for the Independents in Totteridge and Bowerdean securing 1,255 votes, alongside colleagues Imran Hussain and Steve Guy.
