Conservatives strengthen grip on Arun
LIBERAL Democrats were the big losers as the Conservatives strengthened their control of Arun District Council in Thursday’s (May 5) elections.
The Tories made six gains, five of them from the Lib-Dems, to claim a total of 48 of the 56 seats on the council.
Among the Lib-Dem casualties was Nick Wiltshire, who not only lost his Littlehampton Beach seat on Arun, but was also voted off Littlehampton Town Council, just weeks before he was due to be sworn in as the new town mayor.
