Tunbridge Wells in Sussex has long had the reputation of being a true-blue bastion of Conservatism (case-independent: little-c and big-C). This is the reputed home of the irate correspondent to the letter pages of right-wing newspapers - 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells'. So the Tory loss of Tunbridge Wells council in the 1994 local elections was a cause of amusement as well as shock. But it would cause a sensation for the Lib Dems to translate local success into a parliamentary gain - they were 17,000 votes behind in 1992. It is very unlikely, and Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Patrick Mayhew looks set to continue his long tenure.
