Cllr Doug Pullen

The Conservatives have held on to the Fazeley ward.

Doug Pullen polled 423 votes in the by-election to see off Labour challenger Dave Whatton who secured 375 votes.

The hold will be a welcome boost for the controlling Tory Group on Lichfield District Council, after [unveiling plans to make £1.7million of cuts](//lichfieldlive.co.uk/2013/05/29/jobs-and-services-at-risk-as-lichfield-district-council-unveils-plan-to-save-1-7million/).

The new Fazeley councillor said after the result: “Thanks to all for their help, support and advice.”
