THE Liberal Democrats once again retained all 12 seats on Bradford on Avon Town Council.

The Conservative and Independent candidates failed to take one seat away from the Lib Dems.

Standing councillors Jocelyn Feilding, Vicky Landell Mills, Janet Repton, Minna Gillham, Malcolm Hewson, and Fran Lewis all retained their seats.

They will be joined by new Lib Dem councillors Michael Bowen, Alison Craddock, Philip Sutton, Peter Leach, Paul O'Callaghan, and Martin Sandford.

The six seats were left vacant after Robert Locke, Roger Andrews, Peter Taylor, Priscilla Roberts, Rosemary Brown and Brian Bailey decided not to stand for re-election.

Turnout for both Bradford North and South wards was 40 percent.

Each ward has six councillors representing it.
