VICTORY: Worcester MP Robin Walker and James Stanley (right) who won in Gorse Hill and Warndon THE CONSERVATIVES have increased their majority on Worcestershire County Council after a disastrous day for Labour which saw the party lose six seats including its leader. It was a successful day for the Conservatives following Thursday’s election with the party snatching seats from Labour in Worcester, Redditch and Bromsgrove as well as claiming victory against a number of independent candidates on the 57-seat council. The Conservatives increased their majority by five claiming 45 seats in total. Labour dropped to three after losing six seats, the Lib Dems gained a seat overall winning four in total which now makes them the official opposition, the Greens gained a seat pushing them up to three seats and there were also two independent candidates elected.
