The end of an era

After losing Hallam to Paul Blomfield in 2010 and losing control of the council in 2011 - here's the moment Paul Scriven learned he'd been beaten into third place in his ward of Broomhill.

Whether or not you liked him and his style of politics (and there are many in both camps), the council was never boring with him in it. With Paul and John Hesketh both out of the game, characters on both sides of the chamber will have to step up lest full council meetings become dull.

Oh, and if you were unsure, that's Labour councillor Harry Harpham heckling Scriven as the results were read out.
