The winning candidates in the Stansted North ward for Uttlesford District Council are Alan Dean and Geoffrey Sell.

Councillor Dean said: “I am delighted that Geoffrey Sell and I were elected in Stansted North.

“I’m disappointed my colleagues Melvin and Lori didn’t get in but I would like to work with the new Conservative members for Stansted South. As I represented that ward, I’ve got casework to pass on to them.

“We are still hoping for other Liberal Democrats to add to our three.”
