Conservatives romp to victory in Derbyshire County Council elections
The Conservatives have romped to victory in dramatic style in the Derbyshire County Council elections, significantly strengthening their grasp on the former Labour stronghold.

After a campaign defined by Covid-19 restrictions and a year like no other, the Conservatives tightened their hold on the county council from 36 seats to 45.
Meanwhile, Labour saw its share of seats on the authority, which it has held for 36 years out of the past 48, reduce from 24 seats to 14.

Green Walters is an oddity. At least that is how he is described by his contemporaries.
He came to Alberta in 1881 and, like most uneducated Black men of the era, found himself taking a stab at whatever opportunity he could find. Walters was what we might today think of as a serial entrepreneur.
He tried his hand as a hay contractor, a ranch hand, a cook, a servant and a cleaner. In some of these roles, his skills were considered less than desired. A. E. Cross, who would become a senator, said that as a cook Walters was neither methodical nor clean.
