Commenting on today’s local election results, the Leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the Assembly Andrew RT Davies AM, said:
“We always knew this was going to be a tough election for the Welsh Conservatives and we have since lost some very capable and gifted colleagues.
“All other parties have suffered at the hands of a national swing towards Labour. Despite this, we have our second best result since the local government reorganisation of the 1990s.
“Today’s results now provide us with an opportunity to reflect, learn lessons, and map out a clear strategy to move forward in future elections as Welsh Conservatives.”
