The 10 to watch - who will lead Buckinghamshire Council? The first Bucks unitary elections are over and the results are in – the Conservatives have come out on top, taking 113 seats and the overall majority at Buckinghamshire Council. The next step is for the controlling party to name a man or woman to lead the council for the next four years. Former leader Martin Tett, who was elected in the Little Chalfont and Amersham Common ward, confirmed at the Chiltern count on Saturday he would be putting himself forward for the position again. Our sources also told us challengers are expected to vie for his position as the group will decide who it could be – but there has been confirmation on rumoured names.
It was a blue wave in the first-ever Bucks Council unitary elections, as the Conservatives swept numerous wards in the central and northern areas of Buckinghamshire. The Tories dominated a large majority of the county, despite several Liberal Democrat candidates winning seats in their respected areas. During a long and drawn out day at the Gateway Office in Aylesbury on Saturday, May 8, numerous candidates were ‘too tense to talk’ as the votes were being counted.

This was caused by the River Great Ouse in the town overflowing and spilling into the streets. Ian Thompson, Buckinghamshire Council’s Corporate Director for Planning, Growth, and Sustainability said: “We’ve seen in these last few months just how terrible the impact of flooding can be and we seize every opportunity we can to find ways of protecting our communities from flooding, whatever the cause. Because the Chilterns are chalk, the area is more prone to groundwater flooding. This is a long-term scheme which tackles groundwater flooding in the Chilterns from a variety of angles, together all aimed at ultimately building resilience to lessen the impact, through stopping flooding in the first place, and ensuring effective warning systems are in place when and where there is a risk.”
