LABOUR were the big winners in the Preston Seton Gosford ward as they saw both their candidates elected.
Colin Yorkston retained his seat, while Brooke Ritchie became one of the council’s youngest councillors after also being elected.
Joining them were Conservative Group leader Lachlan Bruce and the SNP’s Neil Gilbert, both of whom retained the seats they first won in 2017.
Mr Bruce had a message for the Prime Minister and said: "Boris Johnson should do the honourable thing and resign."
