Park Eric Wilson 522 votes 29%

The 3 paper candidates averaged 11.5%

Eric, I would love for the Hartlepool UKIP Branch to compile a "UKIP Guide to winning local elections.." seeing as you guys are now starting to set the pace we should all be aiming to keep up with.
Bloody good effort, well done.
