David Robertson, Helen Henry and former councillor, Bruach Colliton were elected to the council for the next four years, where they will join returning councillors, Mary-Ann Brown, Albert Calvano, Greg McAdam and Katrina Rainsford.

Mr Robertson was the first councillor elected after receiving 14.2 per cent of first-preference votes.
