Cllr Jones said: “I would like to thank the people of Riverside for voting for me. It was a good turn-out.
“I will repay that by working very hard to make sure Riverside is a great place to live, but also the bigger picture of Maidenhead – I will be working hard to finish that job.
“[I’m] tired, but delighted.”
Full results:
Conservatives: 794 votes
Lib Dems: 566
