The BNP strength was in the Sedgefield section.
Of course, what’s happened is the sizeable “Others” has detracted from Labour’s normal vote.

I think the Tory vote will rise here steadily long term, given the many fine locations, but Labour should be safe, perhaps very safe, and next time they probably will be able to knock up some abstainers as a counter swing.
