New party formed in Selsey to contest council elections

Donna, also a town councillor, said: "It was just incredible. We felt that the time was right to make stand for Selsey. The peninsula doesn't have a strong voice and we think we need our own voice.

"We hope this is the beginning rather than the culmination of the last four weeks."

Tim won 811 votes, compared with fellow councillor Elliott Evans (Con) with 735. Donna won 717 while her fellow councillor, Carol Purnell (Con), won 648 votes.
