Xocoa Sharma, Vice Chair for the South Bucks Liberal Democrats said: "These results, coming after the Bernwood by-election win, demonstrate that the Liberal Democrats can beat the Conservatives in Buckinghamshire."

Cllr Christine said: “I am grateful for the amazing support we have received, and I am looking forward to making a difference for the community”.

Cllr Susanne said “This election clearly shows Beaconsfield is ready for change. I am really looking forward to being part of that change, as a voice for local residents on issues that matter most to them”.
