A total of 25 candidates stood for 15 seats. There was a total of 13,624 votes cast.
It is notable that 7 of the 13 Wincanton Forward candidates failed to get elected, including the former Chair, Sue Shelbourn-Barrow, and myself, although Vice-Chair Ray Tudgay was re-elected.
There are four brand-new councillors, which is great, and three who are returning after having resigned in the past but chose not to run in the 2021 by-election.
