Tories take grip

Ben Turner
2/ 5/2008

MACCLESFIELD will enter a brave new dawn next April under an even tighter Conservative stranglehold, after storming the historic first Cheshire East Authority election.

An experimental three votes per voter clearly played into Tory hands as they won 30 of the 36 seats in Macclesfield borough - within the new 81-seat strong 'Shadow Council', which will take power next April.

Until then, current borough and county councillors, a number of whom lost their seats in Friday's count, will continue to serve.
