Labour takes seat for Partington, Carrington and Sale West
Labour’s Frances Cosby has been elected as the new ward councillor for the Trafford ward of Bucklow St Martins. She beat her closest rival, - Conservative Paul Lally - 794 votes to 284 - to take the seat vacated by Adele New, who resigned as a councillor on September 20.
Twenty-nine-year-old Ms Cosby is a communications worker and has never held public office before, but was a defeated Labour candidate in the Manor ward at the May local council elections. She told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “I am absolutely delighted. It’s such an honour and I’m so happy that the people of Partington, Carringon and Sale West have voted and put their trust in me.
“Frances will make an exceptional councillor. She brings a lot of experience from her job role and as a political activist. She has got a real understanding of the issues that Partington, Carrington and Sale West face and she’ll be a real champion and figurehead for the area.”
