Conservative
candidate for Greenwich & Woolwich at the 2019 General Election, Thomas
Turrell, has thanked voters who gave him their support on Thursday 12th.
Thomas received over 11,000 votes (22% of the vote) holding second place.
Labour’s majority in Greenwich and Woolwich was reduced for the first time
since 2005.
Nationally
Conservative leader Boris Johnson was re-elected as Prime Minister as head of a
majority Conservative government.
Thomas said “Thank you to the
circa 11,000 people who put their faith and voted for me. While I haven’t been
elected myself, residents still have a strong team of Conservative
councillors to champion their concerns in the town hall. I’m pleased with the
positive campaign I ran – focusing on my plan for the area and my record as a
campaigner”.
London Assembly candidate Charlie Davis said
“I wanted to give a big thank you to Tom for his work as our candidate. Tom
has a successful record as a campaigner and was the only candidate to mention
Crossrail at the three hustings. With Londoners heading back to the polls in
six months to elect the Mayor of London and Assembly Members I look forward to
building on some of issues raised in Tom’s campaign such as the need to get
Crossrail delivered with no more delays or excuses”.
