Tories demolished. Lets hope this continues

Nice to see them coming in with fewer votes than the Greens. They can't have Nimbied hard enough.

Glad to see the Greens doing so well.

6,521 votes cast?, that seems awfully low

And just 11 votes between first and second place.

Another great example of why it's so important to vote in local elections.

It's a worryingly small figure, Maidstone isn't exactly small, according to this

There's an electorate of over 76k

That was close
