In her acceptance speech Tameside's newest Councillor, Janet Cooper, thanked everyone who voted in the by-election on Thursday. Janet made it clear that no matter which party people voted for she would work for every resident equally.
Janet also reminded people that she was following in some big shoes as Roy Oldham had represented local people for 4 decades.
Janet called this result a vote for jobs and investment in the area. It showed that voters are rejecting the Tory programme of severe cuts to our much valued public services, especially the postponed £11 million to modernise Longdendale High School.
The count was conducted in Hyde Town Hall.
Longdendale full result: Lab 1275, C 1083, Grn 99, BNP 80, Ukip 67.
