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.
