Regret to report the death of John Pierce, a prominent Labour Tower Hamlets councillor who just turned 40 this month. He was chair of the Strategic Development Committee (the main planning committee) for many years. He represented Weavers ward in Bethnal Green from 2012. Sad news indeed.
40 years old.
One of the good guys.

I would guess he wants to use the by-election as "a referendum on the Local Plan"? Is he intending to stand in his own by-election then? Either way, it seems a rather quixotic approach But not totally unknown.

The death has been announced of Clayton Willis, Labour councillor for Tyn-y-nant division, Rhondda Cynon Taf council. Off-topic, but does anyone know why Clayton, as a first name, is little known outside South Wales? See also Byron. And Tyrone? Or is that a film thing.

Waverley council: Cranleigh East ward. Richard Cole (Liberal Democrat) has resigned. Is that the ward that used to be represented by Guildford MP Angela Richardson?

Are we sure that there is a vacancy in Ribble Valley: Alston & Hothersall?
There was a report in the Lancashire Telegraph on 22nd April 2021 under the heading "Ribble Valley: resignations hit council Conservative group". Ian Brown (Salthill) was said to have been suspended for standing as an Independent against a Conservative candidate in the then upcoming County Council elections whilst Jim Rogerson (Alston & Hothersall) had resigned because he had lost all respect for politicians nationally. Reading the report may well indicate Jim Rogerson had resigned from the Group rather than from the Council.
However, at the present time there is no notice of vacancy for any Ribble Valley ward, Jim Rogerson is still shown as a Councillor for the Alston & Hothersall ward whilst J Rogerson attend the annual council meeting on 18 May 2021 - there is no other Rogerson on the Council.
Furthermore both Ian Brown and Jim Rogerson are still shown as Conservative Councillors on the Ribble Valley council website.

That appears to be the old version - Ribble Valley went over to ModernGov quite recently. Both Ian Brown and Jim Rogerson are now shown as Independents and were included as such in the proportionality calculation at the annual meeting. But indeed does not appear to have resigned from the council.
