Cllr Helen Groves. Cllr Helen Groves.

THE Liberal Democrats still have two seats on Sedgemoor District Council after winning a by-election.

Helen Groves was elected in the Highbridge and Burnham Marine Ward in the poll last week for the vacancy created when sitting Liberal Democrat Joe Leach stepped down.

Result: Helen Groves (LD) 379; Bill Hancock (Con) 288; Sally Williams (Ind) 253; Ricky Holcombe (Lab) 249; Purple Watkins (Ind) 68.

The political make-up of the council remains: Conservatives 31, Labour 13, Lib Dems 2, Independents 2.
