The Conservative party has held a seat it contested in a by-election.
Voters in the Evendons West ward returned Tony Lack in the Wokingham town council contest, held on Friday, December 11.
It was a comfortable win – Mr Lack was 158 votes ahead of his second placed rival, the Liberal Democrat candidate.
An independent candidate came third with Labour in last place.
The result:
Tony Lack, Conservative 380
Keith Malvern, Liberal Democrat 232
Liz Karakurt, Independent 88

The Conservatives have tweeted their joy at the win:
