As I understand it Stephen Flynn has said he will resign on 4 March, not that the byelection will be on 4 March.

Somebody tweeted that there was a by-election this week. I copied the text but not the link, so I can't be bothered to remember who tweeted it:
#WinningHere in #Northumberland!!
Last nights Blyth Council by-election result (Cowpen ward in new #Conservative #BlythValley constituency):
- Aileen Barrass (Lab) 231
- Adam Parsons (Con) 348
@conservatives gain from #Labour with massive swing! #Onwards

The election was a rejection of Labour because Lab's vote was down 8%, but that 8% went everywhere (similar to elections when Labour was in power particularly 2005) |

Thanks Davıd Boothroyd. Spotted that yes, but Id assumed it would be in May. The article suggests it might be sooner than that. Perhaps Bexley Tories are keen to keep it separate from the Mayoral election? |
