Reform UK secures its first councillor seat in Salford, flipping a safe Labour ward with a narrow victory in the Barton and Winton by-election. Michael Felse, a seventy-six-year-old former Labour member turned independent, wins by thirty-three votes over Labours Catherine Goodyer. Felse, a long-time Salford resident and adult skills training center owner, plans to address local issues like litter, potholes, and misplaced priorities. The victory comes amidst low turnout and signals potential shifts in Salfords political landscape ahead of Mays local elections.
