HOPES OF A SPEEDY RECOVERY FOR POPULAR IMMINGHAM COUNCILLOR

                                                                   

Cllr Karen Swinburn - unable to attend election count

THURSDAY night's NELC votes count at the Grimsby Auditorium was overshadowed by news that a sitting councillor was said to be "very ill".

Karen Swinburn  is one of the three Conservative members for the Immingham ward and a very popular member of the community.

She would have like to have been with her husband, Stewart, who was re-elected by a comfortable margin, but he revealed that, sadly, she had not been well enough to attend.

Another successfully re-elected councillor, Oliver Freeston (Con, Croft Baker) made a point of expressing his best wishes to Cllr Mrs Swinburn in his own victory speech.
