Congratulations to all the Labour candidates who were elected on 2 May to Norwich City Council and to Broadland District Council.
The hard work put in over the last few months in Sprowston Central paid off – Labour took both seats, so we now have a Labour presence on Broadland District Council. Congratulations to Natasha Harpley and Breanne Cook!

A huge thank you to everyone involved in the campaign, both in the run-up and on polling day itself. Special mention to our Agent, Alan Pawsey, for his wise and supportive guidance and control throughout the campaign, to Sam Earl, who (among much else) masterminded our excellent leaflets, to Adam Giles (Campaigns Coordinator) who put in so much effort to keep us all in line and out canvassing, and to Matt Reilly who ran the successful campaign in Sprowston Central as part of the wider strategy to secure Norwich North in the future. Commiserations to those who lost their seats, despite all their hard work – wider events conspired against us. Hopefully we will take these seats back again over the next four years.
