IT was a good night for the Liberal Democrats on Thursday - winning two by-elections for spots on Appleton Parish Council.
Helen Speed and Laura Booth will now take up seats until the all out elections in May.
The thumping win in the Cobbs and Hillcliffe ward over the Conservatives will be a major boost.
The Lib Dems lost all three seats to the Conservatives in the 2021 local elections for Warrington Borough Council and will be hopeful of winning them back in May.
Here is the full results:

Laura Booth Liberal Democrat 1,400
Stephen Taylor Conservative 424
Turnout 27.6 per cent
