Voters in Droylsden East elected Councillor Kieran Quinn to continue representing the ward for another 4 years.
Kieran received 62% of all the votes cast getting 1969 votes - an increase of over 25% and one of the highest Labour votes in Tameside.
Kieran's majority also increased to 1374 - an increase of 50%.
On a good night for Labour in Droylsden; the total votes cast for all the other parties fell by over 200 votes - with the Tory vote the biggest loser overall.
Kieran and the Droylsden Labour team are well known for their commitment to the town and their record for getting the best for Droylsden.
As Kieran said "I am honoured to once again represent Droylsden. The next 4 years are going to be difficult, especially as we come to terms with the impact of the unfair Tory cuts."
"Droylsden is well placed to deal with the difficulties ahead because we have planned investment coming to our town e.g. the new £30 million Academy opening in January as well as the completion of the Metrolink works through Droylsden around October.”
“We will need to campaign for local people starting with a campaign to return the pensioner’s winter fuel allowance taken away by the Tory led Government."
"I will also continue to work with local community groups starting on Sunday when along with Councillor Susan Quinn we will be rolling up our sleeves, joining volunteers to help clear up the canal through Droylsden."
