Conservatives Seize Control in Harborough By-Election

A by-election is heating up in Harborough District Council following the death of respected Conservative councillor David Gair, who passed away at 79. His loss flipped the council’s balance, giving the Conservatives a single-vote majority — a dramatic shift from their previous coalition-run setup. Gair, a long-serving local figure and retired head teacher, leaves behind a legacy of community service. With 16 of 34 seats now held by the Tories, this pivotal vote could reshape the council’s future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
