Conservative Paul Bristow won the seat in December by defeating Labour’s Lisa Forbes. Mr Bristow (£12,919) also spent the most amount of money during the campaign - narrowly ahead of Mike Greene from the Brexit Party. However, the total sums are below the amount spent during the by-election in the city last June where the Tories spent more than £91,000, followed by £82,700 from Labour and £76,600 from the Brexit Party. At a General Election parties are allowed to spend a maximum of £30,000 per constituency.
