Incidentally, here is proof if needed that Maundy Thursday is a working day for election purposes. That has been the case in statute for over a decade now. Premature announcements of by-elections for May 4th might be a result of some councils' ever-professional and efficient electoral services teams not having caught up with the news yet.

The UKIP vote in Southey is now basically back to the old BNP vote which was always relatively strong here .

At the Torfaen Council meeting on 28 February 2017, the seat of John Marshall (Lab) (Trevethin) was declared vacant, after his formal leave of absence granted by the Council had expired. This is rather an unfortunate situation, since he has been suffering a sustained period of ill health. The six-month rule applies.

There will be four candidates for the Kenton East seat in Harrow, polling on 20 April: Annabel Charis Rebecca CROFT (Liberal Democrats) (Commonly known as Charis Croft) Herbert Winford CROSSMAN (UKIP) Nitesh Vishram HIRANI (Conservative Party) (Commonly known as Nitesh Hirani) Nishit PATEL (Labour Party) (Commonly known as Nish Patel) This will be the first time that Croft and Hirani have stood for election. A Google search suggests that Croft is chair of Harrow Liberal Democrats, setting the questions for the local Lib Dem quiz night last November. As for Hirani, It would appear from the various addresses appearing on the SOPN that he is the only candidate to live in Kenton East ward. A local blog suggests he is "a temple activist [and] member of the Conservative action team for Kenton East". The blog suggests that another member of the Conservative action team for the ward has mysteriously pulled out of the group. We are all by now familiar with Crossman, who was also the UKIP candidate in last month's Roxbourne by-election. Patel was one of the three Labour candidates for nearby Belmont ward in 2014; he is currently the chair of Harrow East Labour Party.
