Handful of votes determine results in key seats
On a night of triumph for the Conservatives they have made significant gains in key seats in the Acton area. This formed a platform for their overall victory but, in fact they were very close to an even more comprehensive victory.
In South Acton a three way split of the vote meant that all parties polled high numbers. Labour took all seats but just 16 votes separate third and fourth place.
It was similarly tight in East Acton where Kate Crawford was returned for the ward, but her two Labour colleagues lost out with the Tories getting two seats.
In Acton Central a significant swing to the Conservatives brought them a surprisingly comfortable victory and in Southfield ward they took one seat in what is usually considered a Liberal Democrat stronghold..
