A local new site just claimed the following, which is incorrect.
‘The most dramatic gain came in Ainsdale where Janet Harrison beat her Conservative rival by just 16 votes following a recount.’
The recount was in fact between Lesley Delves for the Liberal Democrats and the Labour candidate, Janet Harrison.
The Tory candidate, Nigel Ball, gained just 25% of votes and was pushed into third place.

Attention to detail in important because incorrect reporting creates a false reality.
