Richard Avison and his hard working team were celebrating last night with a success in the Horncastle and Thimbleby District Council By-election. Caused by the passing of the late Conservative Councillor Steve Newton, Richard was faced with an Independent and UKIP candidate.
In what was expected to be a close election, Richard eventually won by nearly 100 votes in an election that saw UKIP pegged back to 3rd! Congratulations to Richard Avison and his team for all the hard work and determination.
