Andy Fraser wins Gore by-election but will have to wait for his first council meeting
Tractor sales manager and former police officer Andy Fraser has won the Gore District Council’s Gore ward by-election.
Preliminary results show Fraser had 626 votes, ahead of Steven Hamlin with 565 and Alan Byrne on 440 votes.
Fraser said he was ‘’actually a little bit shocked’’ at the result.
Six candidates contested the Gore ward vacancy, which came after long-standing councillor Bret Highsted resigned in April saying that since the local body elections in October he had found the council environment “highly stressful and the levels of anxiety unsustainable”.
Looks like everyone seems to be getting on okay now and learning to work around others
Please don't wait around for further updates though
