The Conservatives looked pretty grim-faced while the count was going on, they weren&#8217;t sure they were going to win.<\/li>\n<li>Our other candidates had much less help or leaflets , but Lindsay, Debbie Taylor, Sid Cumberland and Lester Wakeling did a vital job for us, &#8216;flyiing the Lib Dem flag&#8217; across the district.<\/li>\n<li>The overall feeling from the other parties was that we had a good night!<\/li>\n<li>If you add up all the votes across the district, we came a clear second, with only the Conservatives ahead of us.<\/li>\n<li>Rayleigh North had the highest turn-out.<\/li>\n<li>It was a poor night for Labour &#8211; for example, their vote in Rayleigh North crashed from 16 percent to 4 percent. But it was pretty obvious this was going to happen bearing in mind  their dire national situation.<\/li>\n<li>The BNP got a couple of second places, but their percentage vote was actually well down compared with previous district council elections in Hockley and Hullbridge.<\/li>\n<p>We are really grateful for all the support and help we had in the election. But with 20 <em>more <\/em>helpers we would  have won Rayleigh North last night. So it would be great if we could recruit 20 more helpers before the end of the year.  And by &#8216;helpers&#8217; we mean someone who can give us 2 or 3 hours assistance most months.
