By-Election Results for Ward 16
Swing from 2003-2005
 John McDonald was the Conservative candidate at the 2005 By-Election in Ward 16.
Local Conservative spokesman, Martyn McIntyre said, "This was always going
to be a difficult by-election for us given the nature of the ward. However,
the people of Dumbarton West were promised a great deal during the by-election
and local residents will now look for delivery. Given Labour's history of
failure and incompetance...the omens are not good. We will continue to work
hard to convince local people that it is important to have Conservative voices
on the council after the next elections in 2007."
