Is this not the same scenario as the Weymouth West vacancy from 2017/18? The councillor resigned on 20 Dec 2017, within 6 months of the end of their term; after the reorganisation S.I. was passed, the vacancy became active again and a by-election was held on 3 May 2018. Indeed so, the precedent has been set there. I must admit to finding the Harrogate RO's reasoning rather difficult to follow. The wording of the relevant bit of the Structural Changes Order is (article 14(1)): I wonder if the Harrogate RO's argument is that (a) they can't fill the vacancy at an ordinary election on 5th May because there isn't going to be one; and (b) they can't extend the late councillor's term of office to allow a by-election on the grounds that he wasn't a serving councillor when the order came into force? A new casual vacancy has arisen for Wathvale in Harrogate where an election will be held if two electors request one. Seems like a bureaucratic / legal muddle has been allowed to happen. |

The unspecified list above includes the 6 vacancies, which occurred before the 6-month rule kicked in, but for which by-elections were not called. These should now be shown as no by-election.
Harrow (Kenton West)
Knowsley (Page Moss)
Merthyr Tydfil (Vaynor)
North Hertfordshire (Letchworth East)
Torfaen (Blaenavon)
Welwyn Hatfield (Welwyn East)

Gedling, Gedling. Jennifer Hemingway (Labour, 2023) has ceased to be a councillor. So good, they named it twice!
Actually, Gedling village is quite a pleasant spot, with a picturesque church that is popular for weddings. It's not its fault that it lent its name to a coalmine.

There were two Labour councillors called Jennifer elected in Gedling ward in 2019. Hemingway was known at the time of her election as Jennifer Thomas; she has since changed her surname. |

Is there any other ward in the country which just has the name of its authority, and no additional descriptor? |

There used to be a Broxbourne ward in Broxbourne, and a Rochford ward in Rochford; but in both cases not since boundary changes some years ago |
