Well, the votes have been counted and the results announced. The dust has settled, the tears and champagne have run dry, and we can now look back to assess what has come out of last week's local elections.
But one thing is sure - the Weekly News' live online results service went down a treat with our loyal readers! Between 9am on Friday, May 2 (when the counting commenced at Venue Cymru) to close of play over the Bank Holiday weekend, the Weekly News site scored around 10,000 hits, far and away the most traffic we've ever had in that period of time.
We put a lot of hard work into making sure we gave the best live results service for the Conwy election. We had a man at the count phoning each result through as they were announced, and a team of reporters in the office uploading the results and getting reactions from candidates where necessary - and this went for Denbighshire, Gwynedd and Ynys Mon as well as Conwy, so we were very busy bunnies last Friday!
And it paid off - 10,000 hits is a massive achievement for us, and we're justly proud of what we did. I hope you were pleased with it too.
