Angus Council election results — Ward 1: Kirriemuir and Dean 

Post Thumbnail

The Conservatives have got off to a very strong start in Angus, taking a seat from the SNP in the Kirriemuir and Dean ward.

Current Conservative councillor Ronnie Proctor retained his seat and will be joined by fellow Tory Angus Macmillan Douglas in the council chambers.

Current councillor Jeanette Gaul (SNP) lost her seat with new SNP councillor Julie Bell gaining enough first preference votes to be elected in the first round of counting.

Mr Macmillan Douglas said: “I’m overjoyed to be elected for Kirriemuir and Dean.

“It was a very good result for the Conservatives in the first ward so hopefully it will be a good day for the party.”

Mr Proctor said: “It is great to be re-elected and to increase my share of the vote. The result also shows a good swing to the Conservative and Unionsists.

Irrespective of political affiliation, I have worked hard to serve the people of Kirriemuir and Dean ward over my time as a councillor and I will continue to do that in the five years ahead.

Ms Bell said: “It’s all getting very real. We worked a hard campaign getting our message across on the doors.”

She added: “The General Election has completely hijacked the local elections. I don’t think the normal rules apply.”
