Durham, Brandon & Byshottles, North. LD 174*, Lab 124. Looks like a Liberal Democrat gain from Labour as 3 Labour councillors were returned unopposed last May.

Vacancy in Wyre Forest: Franche & Habberley North. Anna l'Huillier Independent Community & Health Concern resigns following the adoption of the Local Plan.
The Conservatives gained a seat in this ward on 30 November 2021.

Harrogate: Wathvale is on 05 May So why on earth are they able to hold a byelection for this one but not for Marston Moor? Is the idea that the MM vacancy arose before the Harrogate elections were cancelled, so it fell under six month rule, whereas Wathvale occurred after the cancellation? God only knows. I am sure there must be some logic but all seems rather strange.

The following 6 vacancies remain in limbo due to council reorganisations and it's unclear if they can/will be called: Barrow-in-Furness: Dalton South. Cause: Resignation of Shaun Blezard (Lab) on 3 February 2022. Carlisle: Botcherby and Harraby North. Cause: Resignation of Jack Paton (Ind) on 2 February 2022. Cumbria: Longtown. Cause: Death of Val Tarbitt (C) on 28 January 2022. Harrogate: Marston Moor. Cause: Death of Norman Waller (C) on 25 January 2022. Harrogate: Wathvale. Cause: Resignation of Bernard Bateman (C) on 25 March 2022. Ryedale: Sherburn. Cause: Resignation of John Raper (Ind) on c. 1 February 2022. Harrogate: Wathvale is on 05 May

In comparison there were 56 by-elections in English seats in 2018 - 15 single seats and 41 " double" elections - and similarly 70 in 2014 - 30 single seats and 40 "double" The R in column 3 of the following tables indicates the vacancy arose as a result of a resignation and D following a death.

Cumbria CC, Longtown is not superseded by the 5 May elections - the 2022 elections to Cumbria CC have been cancelled and the current county council will continue until abolition in April next year. This is a different situation to North Yorkshire and Somerset: in those counties the 2022 county council elections are going ahead, and the newly-elected county councils will become unitary councils when the district councils are abolished next year. Cumbria is being split into 2 Unitary Authorities whereas North Yorkshire and Somerset are being retained but as a new Unitary. Are you saying Cumbria will for some 10 months then have: * 84 current County Councillors * 46 Councillors for the new Cumberland Unitary Authority * 65 Councillors for the new Westmorland & Furness Authority * 247 existing Councillors for 6 current District Councils A total of 442 Councillors give or take a few vacancies. Some of these will be sitting on 2 or even 3 Councils. Good luck with that!!
