Hertfordshire County Council election results 2021: Hemel Hempstead Town division

Results from Thursday's Hertfordshire County Council election are coming in, and in Hemel Hempstead Town Liberal Democrat candidate Adrian England has won the seat.

Members are routinely elected every four years in ‘all-out’ elections – with the last set of full elections held in 2017.

There are 10 county councillors elected from divisions in Dacorum.

Eight of those 10 seats were held by Conservatives and two by Lib Dems, before Thursday's election.

Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green candidates were standing in every one of the county council seats within Dacorum – with a Reform candidate standing in Bridgewater and independent Jan Maddern in Hemel Hempstead South East.

Turnout in Hemel Hempstead Town was 37%.

"I am very happy to have won."

Voters in Dacorum also voted on who they wanted to take up the role of Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire – the contest was due to take place last year, but was delayed due to the pandemic.
