Thanking voters for their support, Charlotte says: “Thank you to each and every voter in Shortlands & Park Langley who lent me their vote on Thursday. I’m delighted to have increased our vote share and to have seen such a high turnout in the election.
I’d like to thank each and every Labour Party activist – the leafletters, the door-knockers, envelope stuffers, proof-readers, designers, deliverers, all of you! In particular, I’d like to thank my agent, Rose Hazeldine, for all her hard work and support.”
Labour’s vote share in the ward increased by 2% versus the 2022 result, when all three seats in the ward were last up for election.
