Labour has lost its Brookmeadow seat to the Conservatives.

Incumbent councillor Ian Feeney lost his seat by 75 votes to Tory Andrew Zucker.

Mr Zucker said: "I'd like to pay tribute to Ian for a good campaign. The turn out was hugely up on last year."It reflects how things have gone nationally and it's a good result."He said his day job, as a trans-Atlantic pilot, would not stop him serving the residents of Brookmeadow."I'm doing several trips a month but I do have time during the day to help people out."Mr Feeney said: "What is sad for me is if the voting was based on what I've achieved over the year then that could have made a difference. "Unfortunately national results played a part in this so we have fallen foul of that."Many people could have voted against Labour as a protest vote against Gordon Brown."I feel bad to have lost the platform to help vulnerable members of the community. There are three Tory councillors in the area now and I believe they should be more visible in Borehamwood than they have been in recent years. "I plan to scrutinise them and make sure they deliver on important issues in the area. "Where they are not meeting obligations I will be a thorn in their side."
