Matt Rhodes in Freshbrook and Grange Park increased the Labour share of the vote from 12.3% in 2008 to 27.3% on Thursday – a staggering 15%.  In the coming year Matt and his colleagues will be able to highlight the failings of Swindon Borough Council, and demonstrate the ideas and dynamism that the Labour Group of councillors and ward-coordinators will bring to Swindon’s politics.
