Wokingham elections: drama sees Lib Dems make three gains

For the most part, the day went well for incumbent councillors who were seeking re-election.
The ruling Conservatives for the most part held the line. They won 14 out of the 18 seats that were up for election last time, in 2016. This year, they managed to hold on to 11 of those and gain one seat.
The most gains were made by the Liberal Democrats, who won three seats at the expense of the Conservatives.
The Liberal Democrats gained a seat in Emmbrook from long serving Conservative incumbent UllaKarin Clark. Clark had served as a councillor since 2003, but was beaten by Morag Malvern, who won by a majority of  221 votes. The Liberal Democrats had accused the Conservatives, including former Cllr Clark, of lying over the council’s finances in their campaign material.
