Other parties did not get a look-in in South Bucks today as the Conservatives triumphed again. Only Alison Wheelhouse in Beaconsfield and Paul Griffin in Iver were not Tory party winners. In Beaconsfield, Alison gained 1,620 votes, while former education cabinet member Anita Cranmer was elected with 1,726 votes and town councillor Jackson Ng got the most with 1,771. Labour candidates Louise Kavanagh and Ian Tunnacliffe didn t fare too well in Beaconsfield, gaining 368 and 241 respectively and putting them in eighth and tenth place - out of 10. In Cliveden, Zoe Hatch stepped up to the task for the Green Party again after unsuccessfully running for the Beaconsfield constituency in the General Election in 2019, but it wasn t to be yet again - gaining a respectful 1,099 votes.
