WHILE councillors were battling it out to gain power in Slough Borough Council, parish councillors were fighting in the background for a place at their respective parish council.

All eyes were on the all-out election at the council on who will take control of the council. The local authority is in no overall control after Labour lost seventeen seats to the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats– and even saw some surprises, such as council leader James Swindlehurst losing his seat.

But while that excitement was going on, Britwell, Colnbrook with Poyle, and Wexham Court parish councils had elections as well.
