Wells has seen some fascinating fights between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats for years and the 2017 general election was no exception.

It's far from being a safe seat for either party and the showground of the Royal Bath & West of England Society was a fitting venue for hours of drama as the counting of the votes stretched from late at night to early in the morning.

There was certainly tension in the air with the prize of a seat which really indicates the wider political mood among voters on offer.
