Council byelection result from yesterday

Just one result:

Folkestone Park Ward, Shepway

Lib Dem 461, Con 320, Lab 111, People First 200, UKIP 153, Green 29.(May 2011 was Con 966, 940, 802; Lab 279; Lib Dem 569, 428, 403; People First 336, 258, 200; UKIP 217.)

Lib Dem gain from Conservatives

By the way the Press Association have done an analysis of the large batch of Council byelections from last week and extrapolate from the comparable results and vote project shares as Labour 35.8%, Conservatives 29.3% and Lib Dems 19.9%.

 

Byelection gain secures Conservatives overall control of Waveney District Council

There were lots of council byelections on Thursday. I haven't seen a calculation of the swings by the Press Association or anyone else - perhaps as it was felt the other elections that day were enough for analysts to cope with.

Anyway the Conservatives held fifteen seats: Bury (two seats), Bradford, Daventry, North Hertfordshire (two seats), East Northamptonshire, Central Bedfordshire (Biggleswade South ward), West Sussex, Chiltern, Swindon, Bath & North East Somerset, Bournemouth, Poole and Wealden. We also gained three seats in Waveney (from Labour), Conwy (from Independent) and Dumfries & Galloway (from Labour).

Labour held nine seats in Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Rugby, Harlow, Cherwell and Newcastle Upon Tyne. Labour gained a seat from Merthyr Independents.

The Liberal Democrats held a seat in Watford and one in Havant. They gained seats from the Conservatives in Eden, Harrogate and Ryedale and from Labour in North Tyneside.
