Cllr James Hellyer is a Conservative councillor in Torridge. Over the last year, we’ve fought five by-election campaigns for Torridge District Council. In the course of these, we’ve lost our Conservative majority, fallen into no-overall control, before regaining and increasing our majority. We lost the first two of these by-elections heavily, and one was a Conservative defence. The next were wards our councillors had written off as unwinnable for the Conservatives. We won.
