In the Wokingham Parliamentary constituency 8 District Unitary Council seats were contested. The Conservatives won all eight, gaining one seat. The aggregate share of the vote was as follows:
Conservative 58.2%
Lib Dem 28.5%
Others 13.3% (BNP,Green,Labour,UKIP)(None of these parties contested all seats)
I would like to thank all those who voted, and all who worked hard as candidates and helpers for all the parties – that is what keeps our democracy alive.

Hello John
With regard to the Wokingham results can you tell me the number of votes for each party received compared with those recorded at the last local election and last general election.
Many thanks John
Reply: I regret I do not have the time today to set all that out. Roughly the Conservative vote was up by about 400 and the Lib Dem vote was down by around 600 compared with Council results last year. They are not comparable with a general Election, as we only contested 8 wards and turnout is always much lower in local elections.
