"An absolutely brilliant result in Ilkley & Addingham - a completely united team and one gain from the Greens.
"A huge congratulations to Andrew, Jane and Richard - residents have spoken!"
The Conservatives had good results in nearby wards, taking all three seats in the Airedale ward with George Buckley, Peter Kirk and Raph Cohn all elected. Robbie Moore commented that 'Steeton, Silsden and Eastburn couldn’t have chosen a more hardworking team.'
