And although nationally it was a good day for the Conservatives and a very bad one for the LibDems, for some reason Bedford saw fit to reverse that trend with the Mayoral Election. In Bedford the Conservatives gained 5 seats and the three main parties are now on an equal split of 12 Councillors each with 4 Independents.
To my utter surprise - and horror - Dave Hodgson managed to get himself re-elected Mayor of Bedford. When we thought that the Civic Theatre would be safe, it isn't so now the battle has to start afresh.
Now wouldn't it be great if the Conservative and Labour Groups on the Council could come to some sort of arrangement to provide some proper opposition to Hodgson? Somehow I don't think that's going to happen, do you?
