Lib Dem gain Stubbington from Con elected as UKIP

Met that councillor - Christopher Wood - in the 2015 GE campaign down Gosport High Street. The first ever UKIPer I met who had some understanding of libertarianism. Wonder what caused him to step down.

Completely off topic, but that area of urban sprawl between Southampton and Portsmouth is, without a doubt, the most depressing part of the country

Being born and bred from that urban sprawl, I can confirm that is 100% true. The saving grace is that the countryside north of the M27 (Meon Valley/Winchester area) is a lovely succession of small villages and rustic pubs.
