So Cllr Glazier is re-elected but with his majority slashed from 572 to 79 and his share of the electorate down to 13%. He will at least be grateful that he did not down as much as the LibDems, whose vote collapsed from 1,000 to 171.

In the County as a whole, the Conservatives have lost overall control, although they remain the largest single party. UKIP made the best showing and Labour did well in Hastings.

Unfortunately, the whole election has been marred by a very low turnout.
