Liberal Democrat, Sarah Redrup, has been elected as the new councillor for Wootton Bridge. 

Sarah won the by-election by more than 180 votes and secured nearly half of the vote (47.8 per cent).

The result of the by-election is:

• Sarah Redrup (Liberal Democrat) — 475
• Conservative — 291
• Vectis Party — 178
• Green Party — 48

The result means that the Liberal Democrats now have four councillors on Isle of Wight Council. As no party has a majority on the council, it means that the Lib Dem group will have a stronger position of influence on council policy and spending.
