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.
