Most places across Kent beat either Lab or LD and Maidstone was no different, we beat Labour.
| No. votes | No. voters | 2009 | 2004 | |
| Green | 4019 | 41276 | 9.7% | 6.8% |
| Lab | 2590 | 41276 | 6.3% | 14.5% |
| LibDem | 6823 | 41276 | 16.5% | 15.5% |
| Con | 14753 | 41276 | 35.7% | 37.3% |
| UKIP | 8169 | 41276 | 19.8% | 19.8% |
The County elections were also a useful testbed for support and while we didn't expect to win any here yet we were delighted with the 13% we received in Rural South and the 11% in Maidstone Central masked the very high level of Green support in Fant that we saw.
This is all great news for us and we will continue to campaign across the town and we will bring Maidstone a Green councillor very soon!

Interesting that the conservatives dropped votes too against the national trend. Why is that???
Good result for the Green Part though - well done all!
I think the resident's parking charges they are introducing in Maidstone may have dented their vote here.
I also found out that the Thanet vote has been changed. Looks like the council put the wrong number on their website and the Green vote share is only 9%, not 17%. Shame, but still very good.
