Please note:
The figures for percentage change are based on the details of the =
results from the last time that there was an election in the ward by 
statute in the May (or sometimes June) elections, rather than by any 
by-election. We use the figures in The Local Elections Handbook by Colin 
Rallings & Michael Thrasher.
The Party-defending seat is the party that the former Councillor (who =
has died, resigned or been disqualified) belonged to when she or he was =
elected not the one that she or he may have subsequently belonged to as 
a result of any defection.
